Describe the symbols of ‘fire' and 'ice' used by the poet in the poem. How can each as well as both can cause the end of the world?
Answers
In the poem Fire and Ice the poet has presented two opposite views about the end of the world. Fire and ice in the poem are symbols for desire and hate respectively. The poet discusses the two possibilities regarding the end of the world. One possibilities is the world ending in flames of fire. The poet feels so when he ponders over the burning flames of desires of people. These desires for more money, more power, etc. will surely hurl the world into another nuclear war, which will burn up the entire world in flames.
The second possibility of the doom of the world is with ice. The poet feels people have so much of hatred in their hearts against one another that it is sufficient to freeze the entire planet to death.
So, the fire of evil desires and ice of wicked hatred are the two contradictory opinions presented in the poem Fire and Ice by Robert Frost.
