what is message in poem in fire and ice?
Answers
Answer:
The poem Fire and Ice by Robert Frost is a metaphor for human feelings of desires and hatred. Fire represents burning desires while ice on the other hand depicts ice cold hatred. It tells us about how we humans will be the end of our own race. It describes how desires, feelings of lust and passion leads us to do ourselves harm, how hatred and icy unsympathetic judgement makes us cold towards everyone. The poet creates a hypothetical situation of the world ending twice. What he means by that is if something is left to be ruined by the first element of fire there is always the second one that is ice to finish the rest. The poet leans towards the idea of the world ending in fire that is due to greed and manly thirst for power. Contradicting this he says that the world can indeed meet its end at the hands of ice as well because of the amount of hatred present in this world.
