fire and ice by robert frost?

Dear friend,

I feel that this poem has a great message.
It tells us of where our world is going when it comes to social relations. I feel that Frost is highlighting that either there's going to be a really big harsh open hate among people or jealousy that will end thew world when he talks about fire.
When talking about ice, he probably means something like cold war, or humans having cold hearts, not mixing with others of their society and unaware of kith and kin.
He is probably not talking about actual physical end of the world, but the end of good in here with the end of our social relations.

Hope this helps.If you have any other query, do get to me, I'll be obliged to help.

Regards,

Meenakshi

'Fire and Ice' presents the debate about the possible ways in which the world can come to an end- either by excessive heat or unbearable cold. The poet extends the debate to speak for human emotions. Like fire, lust and greed can destroy the world. On the other hand, like ice, hate can freeze all life on Earth into extinction......
Hope you got it.

DEAR FRIEND/STUDENT

The poem fire and ice has a deep meaning and it. Fire and ice are two powerful elements of the earth. In this poem poet talks about the end of the world by two elements, first by the fire it will end with eruptions of volcanoes, meteos and asteroid but by the ice it will end due to hatred, jealousy, ego and discrimination between the people living in the world they will end the world theirselves.

The central idea of the poem revolves around the extreme but opposite and juxtaposition emotions of human. The poet states that their imbalance may cause the massive destruction. The result is the indicative of the collision of the two forces. (Fire of desire and ice of hatred)

CENTRAL IDEA OF THE POEM

This is a symbolic poem wherein
1. Fire - a symbol for desire, greed, list, avarice
2. Ice - a symbol for hate, hatred, insensitivity

The poet mentions that both fire and ice can bring probable end of this world. The poet talks about how fire represents desire and can therefore be a cause of the end of the world. He also mentions that ice can be the second cause of the end of the world. Too much desire or fire can consume any relationship while hate can be equally destructive.

The poet has tried to bring the difference between the fire and the ice, which represent two different kinds of people. According to the poet, the world can perish by fire and also by ice. Thus it can perish twice- one by fire and then by ice. The poet feels that the ice of hatred is as powerful as the fire of desire to bring a complete end to this world.

In the post fire and ice frost discussed about two possible causes for end of the world. They are fire and ice. Fire is being compared with endless desire which ice is compared with hatred. Both the things spreading among humans are equally capable to destroy the world. So we should reduce our desires and love our fellow human beings.
