    This is a pretty good analysis. The road taken was actually not less travelled by, as he admits that the two paths were pretty much the same, but he convinces himself that, perhaps, one was better, without a real rationale. So, in my opinion, the last stanza indicates that, later in life, he will romanticize (the sigh) about the decision, making it out to be some sort of altruistic choice, when in reality, it was just a random decision with no rationale whatsoever. It is the admission that, in the future, he will likely be exaggerating (or fooling himself) about the thought he put into making the impactful decision, when in reality, it was just luck. This poem is not about the courage of taking an unpopular pathway. It’s about the errancy of nostalgic memory or the need to feel that impactful decisions of our lives were intentional, when they really weren’t. Maybe it is grasping for a sense of control of his life. Read this again in that light. He is saying, “In the future, I will make more of this decision than what really occurred at the time.” I read the “I...I “ as the intentional, dramatic stuttering of someone telling a tall tale.
    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
    The fact that the title of the poem is about the road NOT taken shows that the speaker is somewhat lamenting the decision, thinking about what might have been, and attempting to console himself or convince himself that it was the right choice. Ever wonder why the title is not “The Road Less Traveled By?”

    Have you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful that the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself.

    He was in fact making fun of his friend. One picks a road, and that's it. Both roads were worn the same, one isn't better than the other as you note. And Frost uses a clever way to finalize the joke.
    'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I- (He splits to personage in two. I-I)
    I took the road less travelled by ('travelled by' can mean travelled on or travelled past, exact opposite meanings)
    and that has made all the difference' (the only difference is you pick a road and it leads to a different destination, that's it and nothing more)
    Nearly everyone that reads this thinks it is 'the road less travelled', it isn't. It is The Road Not Taken. It has nothing to do with picking a better road, you just have options along the way where the destination is generally unknown and you pick one and it leads to something. That's all.

    “My friend has eight rabbits.”This is a quote from Jerry McGuire, the movie.
    There’s no way in a poem like this we can pre-suppose the relationship with his friend, because we do not know he has a friend named Thomas.
    At least not from the information given,
    good Lord. I guess anyone can just make their own effing case be done with this poem and get the grade the way the teacher in class views it.
    Good job BTW but people try to hard to find meaning.
