In poem fire and ice he wrote that some people say world will end in fire and some say in ice. Here for people fire is high temperature but for poet it is uncontrolled desires ?? Is it correct

And for people ice is low temperature but for poet it is hatered ?? Is it correct??

Dear Student,
In the poem "Fire and Ice", Robert Frost assumes that the world will come to an end only because of the humans and their in-humanistic natures such as anger, greed, ego, lust, and desires. The greed and lust are compared with fire which is equally uncontrollable and destructive. The hatred of people is compared with ice, that is cold. When people possess hatred for each other, they don't have affection and compassion towards others. They are as cold as ice as they are insensitive and selfish. 

Hope this clears your doubt regarding this topic.


Regards
