Question :
In the poem fire and ice, what does the poet favour? fire or ice or both
Answer :
- The poem describes an imaginary debate between people who say that the world will end in fire and people who say it will end in ice.
- The poet talks about the power that human beings have to harm or "destroy" one another.
- The poet's experience with romantic desire has taught him that the passionate or "hot" emotions like love and lust would have the power to turn the earth into a very big fireball.
- But he is a person who has also experienced the other extreme, and he knows that the colder emotions like hate have great destructive power.
- Love gets all the exposure, but hate is the silent killer.
- It may not have the same magnificence as the fireball ending, but it'll do the trick.
