Fire_And_Ice

Fire And Ice “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost suggest that the world will end by fire or by ice. Fire being the symbol for desire and passion versus ice that of hatred. Frost identifies the two scientific forms of the world end, by fire or by ice. By means of rhymes and understatements, Frost allows us to see his prediction. In order to explain the view of fire symbolizing desire and passion, one must refer to the basic definition in adjective form. Fire is said to be a driving force and desire for an act. I believe Frost is referring to fire as inside the human heart forcing the drive and beat to everyone’s passion in life. On the other hand fire can also reveal the end of the world by means of an eternal fire bringing about one of two ways he describes as the end of the world. An understatement I believe can be found as Frost quotes,” But if it had to perish twice.”(Line 5) It seems evident that Frost is saying that if the world were to burn it wouldn’t be that big of a deal like a passing thing.
