The Road Not Taken By Robert Frost

       The setting in "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost hints that the man in the poem is middle aged, and deciding at a later point in his life between two life paths.
        The first line in the poem, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" made me think of fall, and that the narrator was caught between a decision at mid-age. The rest of the poem describes the man taking one path and thinking about trying the other, and never getting around to it, but in the end, both roads are the same. To me, the author is trying to say that the man is stuck in a kind of minor mid-life crisis.
      In the last stanza, it says "I shall be telling this with a sigh, somewhere ages and ages hence" making it clear that he's looking back on his choice years later, and maybe feeling some regret. This isn't completely clear- but the poem clues toward the narrator being somewhere in the middle of his life.
