Question

theme of fire and ice poem​

Answer 1

Answer:

destructive potential of hatred and desire

Answer 2

Answer:

In this poem, Frost points out that humans will be the agents of our own destruction, one way or another.  He compares "desire" to "fire" and "hate" to "ice." Both desire and hate are represented by physical forces that could lead to our extinction.

We might imagine desire to be something like greed, perhaps for natural resources—oil, fresh water, natural gas, and so on—since nations conflict time and again over resources such as these.
