Abstract

            The current study has primarily two aims; first one is to analyze the poem “The Road Not Taken” stylistically on different linguistic levels; Morphological, Syntactical, Semantic & Phonological and the second aim is to apply Derrida’s deconstruction theory on to the selected poem to decode the implicit meanings of the poem. The study will also explore the contextual and hidden meanings by working on word, sentence and meaning levels.  The analysis concluded that the poem is stylistically rich and implies a lot of implicit contexts.
