Answer:
In this poem, the poet expresses the two ways in which the world may end. Some people say that the world will end by Fire while others say that it will end by Ice. The poet says that he is aware about the “fiery desires” of human emotions, so he will favor those who say that Fire will end the world. Then, the poet rethinks again and imagines, if the world has to die twice, then Ice has the capability, similar to Fire, to destroy the whole world.
The poet compares fire and ice with the self-destructive nature of human beings. According to the poet, Fire stands for desire, greed and lust. There is no end to such emotions. The more humans try to fulfill them, the more rapidly these emotions spread, similar to fire. These feelings often engulf human life, and they get trapped in them. As a result, people become egotist, selfish and cruel. On the other hand, the poet describes Ice as the rigid, rough and hateful side of human emotions. People become harsh and do not care about the emotions and feelings of others. They are indifferent to others’ happiness and sorrow. Thus, the poet says that since Ice and Fire both are growing with such rapid speed the world will end soon, either by Fire or by Ice. The poem conveys a beautiful message that human emotions rule over them. If humans don’t control their emotions, they will ruin their life and bring it to the verge of chaos.
In this poem, the poet refers to two predictions of how the world will end. Some say it will end in fire whereas others say it will end in ice. According to the poet ‘fire’ stands for desire, greed, avarice or lust. The more you try to satisfy them, the more they grow. There is no end to it.
They spread rapidly like fire and engulf your whole life. One becomes selfish and sometimes cruel also. On the other hand, ‘ice’ according to the poet, stands for hatred, coldness and rigidity. One becomes insensitive and indifferent towards the feelings of others. The poet says that both fire and ice are growing with such a rapid speed that the world would soon perish either way, in fire or in ice.
