Answer 2

The two contrasting views about the end of the world as projected into Frost's poem 'Fire and Ice.'

• Robert Frost was a popular Pulitzer-prize-winning American poet. Frost's poems frequently depicted the simple life in rural New England to explore complex philosophical and social ideas.
• His poem, 'Fire and Ice' is seemingly a simple nine-line poem, but it is strongly symbolic and contains within itself a complex message to be delivered. Its structure resembles the 9 rings of the inferno, growing significantly smaller as it reaches the end.
• In this poem, Frost says that the world will end in two contrasting ways- either by fire or by ice. Here, 'fire' symbolises strong desires, lust, greed, etc. and 'ice' stands for hate, cold-heartedness, indifference, etc.
• He then opines that from what he's experienced of desire, he would rather let the world end by fire. But later, he switches sides, saying that if the world had to end twice, he knows enough about hate to say that ice will also suffice for a great end for the world.
• The author thus would like to convey, through this poem, that be it 'fire', or desire, or 'ice', or hatred, strong emotions have the potential to push the world to its literal end. Or, if one lets their emotions take over them, it would lead to grave downfall.
