Question

Central idea of poem fire and ice

Answer 1

Some say the world will end in fire, 

Some say in ice. 

From what I’ve tasted of desire 

I hold with those who favor fire. 

But if it had to perish twice, 

I think I know enough of hate 

To say that for destruction ice 

Is also great 

And would suffice.

Answer 2

HI

The poet warns us not to be victims of evil designs since there is an end of everything. The poet equates fire and ice with desire and hatred, respectively. Both of these are growing at an enormous speed. If we don't check them from growing, the world will perish. We must restrain our desire and love our fellow-beings.

Hope it proved to be beneficial...
