"Fortunato" is an Italian derivation of the Roman proper name "Fortunatus." It refers to a Latin adjective which means "blest" or "fortunate." It is known popularly referenced in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 16:17, in which Fortunatus is one of the Seventy Disciples and serves as an ambassador to the Corinthian church. St. Paul writes in this verse:
I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
"Fortunatus," thus, went on to become relatively popular in the Catholic tradition, with many saints, martyrs, and clergymen taking up the name. This--as the other educators have pointed out--is deeply ironic given Fortunato's indulgent behavior throughout the story. Fortunato does not appear to possess the graces and qualities of a man of faith; rather, he seems to gratify his every whim and desire, no matter how base or low--drinking, gossiping, cavorting, and partying his way through life. The way in which he dies--being paved behind a wall while drunk--is hardly beatific or holy. He does not perish as a martyr, but rather as a fool.
Answer:
The path of tradition is the most trusted path.
Choices play a key role in shaping your life.
Explanation:
These are the two themes that are expressed in the poem. Frost tells us that the path of tradition is the most trusted one, because we learn that this is the path most people take. The path is more travelled, and easy to see. We also learn that choices play a key role in shaping your life because Frost tells us that the fact that he chose the road that was less travelled by "has made all the difference."
