A. Introduction 20 mins
Moralist Approach is a type of literary critique that judges the value of the
literature based on its moral or ethical teachings.
 Its concern is not only to discover meaning but also to determine
whether works of literature are both true and significant.
 It is used to determine whether a work conveys a lesson or message
and whether it can help readers lead better lives and improve their
understanding of the world.
 Using this approach, literature that is ethically sound and virtuous is
praised while literature that misguides and corrupts is condemned.

1.Lines 2-3
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
2. Lines 4-5
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
3. Line 6
Then took the other, as just as fair
4. Lines 7-8
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
5. Lines 9-10
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
6. Lines 11-12
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
7. Lines 14-15
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
8. Lines 16-17
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
9. Line 19
I took the one less traveled by,
