 Analysis of the poem "fire and ice"

         

 

 

Analysis :-

 This short poem of Robert Frost interprets his own 

 thinking about how probably the earth would be 

 destroyed the Indian oriental myth and western 

 myth both suggest that there would be the end of 

 this earth. The Indian oriental myth suggest that  

 the earth would be destroy because of water and 

 

 western Christian myth suggest the earth would be 

 destroy of fire. The present poem shows the poet 

 thinking about it.

 Some people are of the opinion that the earth would 

 be destroy because of fire while some other think 

 that the earth would be destroyed because use of  

 ice, water, the poet has made is study about desires

 of the people on the basis of that study the poet 

 comes to a conclusion that the earth would be 

 destroyed because the fire of never ending desires 

 but in the some earth is to be destroyed twist, the 

 

 second time it would be destroyed because of ice.

 The poet here refers to cold blooded hatred which 

 allow a person the very cool but full of hatred and 

 venom from inside so, from the second time it the 

 earth destroyed because of cold blooded 

 temperament with which remain covered modern

 man's hatred so, both Fire and Ice equally capable 

 of destroying the earth.

Conclusion :-

“Fire and Ice” is only poem of nine lines. Through this short 

poem Frost conveys his ideas and he succeeded in opening our 

eyes for deeper meaning.

 Desire to Fire and haste to ice are haste to ice are human 

 

 emotions, transformed into impersonal forces. This poem is a 

 

 lyric, which also expresses the poet’s dreaded acceptance of the 

 passion both of love and hatred in their most destructive from.
