Answer 1

Answer:

With these lines, the narrator who says that he has become disoriented and does not know what to believe anymore.

Explanation:

When the narrator states that he has strayed from the path of nature, he is referring to nature itself, that is, he is referring to his own beliefs, opinions and convictions. This shows that the narrator went through a moment of so much disappointment that it left him confused, disoriented, unable to believe in his own reasoning and in what he felt was correct and appropriate. In other words, the narrator has lost his essence, his nature and does not know what else to do.
