Sure. Ask away!

@@jefflagace909 Thanks. The line here is ""I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence". I was reading about this poem on an analysis website, and there are a couple of things I don't understand. 1. "The individual anticipates insincerity in his future, looking in retrospect later on. He’s aware that he will be far from correct and even hypocritical at times, looking at his life. Furthermore, he is fully aware that his future self will ultimately deny his past self’s decision, asserting it strongly." But how is he hypocritical? 2. In said stanza, the character "is already imagining the regret he will feel and decides that he will not be honest when he retells the story of his decision, as it will not validate his selection of the road if he showcases his regret by stating that an equal opportunity could have landed him elsewhere in life." Is this paragraph talking about the character potentially regretting his decision and therefore looking for an excuse and/or weak "bright side." We've all done that before I think: made a choice, regretted it, and tried to think of a "valid" reason why it was good anyway, when we're really just kidding ourselves. That the case here?

@@jakebastian6726 I never associated the word hypocritical with Robert Frosts journey. I think it’s a realization that he is simply human and not perfect and a “sigh” is not always out regret sometimes it’s a positive relief or release. So for me to say it’s hypocritical puts a negative judgement on the journey.

@@jefflagace909 I don't think I understand. Could you reword that? Is my interpretation--the character deciding that he'll be dishonest and excuse/justify his future poor decision--a part of the poem? I got that out of "2. In said stanza..." Oh, and there's "he is fully aware that his future self will ultimately deny his past self's decision, asserting it strongly."

@@jakebastian6726 i’m not an expert on this poem or very good at analyzing anything. I think it’s also open to interpretation. It sounds like you’re asserting that it’s a bad decision and that he regrets the choice. what I’m saying is he’s satisfied with the decision because it was the only one he could make at the time since you can’t be in two places at the same time, so he’s accepting that no matter which path you go down it’s the right one.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

You should! It’s fun!
