The Road as a symbol

The road symbolically is a journey that you take in order to find peace and the road that you chose to take will decide you fate. In The Road McCarthy illustrates a road as being a means of an emotional and physically journey. However the road isn't described often and if described is implicit. This portrays that a road cannot be described in explicit detail as each path you take is different and the one you decide to take will determine the challenges that you face.
