key points
The poem has been written symbolically.
The poet says that there are mainly two opinions about the end of this world, one by fire and another by ice.
The symbols-‘Fire’ and ‘Ice’ have been used for human emotions like desire and hatred respectively.
As fire can spread very fast and cause a great destruction in no time likewise our desires may also prove very destructive if they go out of control.
Hatred causes slow destruction like ice but it is also very harmful.
summary
The poet talks about the two different beliefs regarding end of this world. He says that he is in the favour of those who say this world will end in fire as he has seen the effect and result of uncontrolled and unending desires. He finds the human desires same as fire in its nature. On the other hand, the second belief tells that ice is sufficient for destroying this world and the poet compares the nature of ice with hatred. As ice can make a part of body numb with its prolonged contact like hatred can also give numbness to our mind and thoughts and make us insensitive and cruel.
The speaker brings us into the middle of an argument between people who think the world will come to a fiery end and people who think the world will freeze. He could be talking about the literal end of the world, but he's also talking about the power that human beings have to harm or "destroy" one another.
The speaker's experience with romantic desire has taught him that passionate or "hot" emotions like love and lust would probably have the power to turn the earth into a big fireball. But he has also experienced the other extreme, and he knows that colder emotions like hate have great destructive power. Love gets all the publicity, but hate is the silent killer. It may not have the same grandeur[2] as the fireball ending, but it'll do the trick.Answer:
Explanation:
Answer:There are many ideas about how the world will end. One thing is certain/sure that everything that exist today has an end. The poet believes that the world will end someday.
Explanation:Both the extremes can bring destruction of the world. If the sun gets so hot that it bursts the world will come to an end. If the world grows extreme cold and freezes, that will also mean the end of the world.
