How is the poet Robert Frost justifying the theme that human beings will be an agent to their own destruction in the poem ‘Fire and Ice’? How is this poem relevant to the present scenario?
Answers
Robert Frost's poem Fire and Ice is about man's extreme behaviour leading to his own destruction. Man suffers from vices such as greed, hatred, avarice, etc. Hatred is visible in the form of wars, acts of terrorism, and conflicts. All the nations are busy making deadlier weapons. These weapons will definitely be used against the hated ones.
Similarly, there is so much greed. The world has abundant of resources; but these resources are owned by just a few people; these people invest their resources with the prime purpose of multiplying them many more times. There is so much of poverty in the world. No company, no rich organization is ready to invest to end poverty of people.
Every individual is suffering from the evil of greed. If the world is to be saved, both hatred and greed need to be eliminated.
