What does the poem imply about the speaker’s values?The Road not taken

To me, this poem implies that the speaker wants to be a rebel, wants to be someone who does not conform to society.  But the poem implies that this feeling is somewhat of a fake.


The speaker does not really feel that either of the roads is any different from the other.  He talks about how they are both just as fair and equally trodden.  Therefore, there is really no difference and he knows there is no difference.


Even so, he wants to pretend to be a rebel so, someday, he's going to talk about how the road he took was less traveled and he's going to pretend that his choice was important.
