Fire and Ice by Robert Frost is a great poem, with alot of different
meanings that other people see it as.
My opinion is that hes talking about "Hate"(ice) and "Desire"(fire), with
these two great forces (fire and ice) are used as the destruction to end
the world. But i think what Robert Frost was explaining was that "Desire"
was his first choice because we all know that if u had "Desire" it would be
more mentally stronger than "Hate" which is in my opinion, true.

I've just got this poem given to me in my synoptic paper for my A level
english exam, all your points have been really interesting!
I'd like to think that the only reason that he talks about the end of the
world is to justify how destructive and strong he imagines these two forces
to be.
I feel like he's just giving himself an excuse to talk about what he really
wants to explore which I thought could be his two comparisons to fire and
ice - desire and hate. By comparing them to such elements he makes them
appear almost godly and unbeatable. He does of course present them very
negatively but by using the word 'great' it seems to me that he might have
some sort of facsination with them.. Like he knows that they are awful, but
he also deems desire and hate to be things that are natural (like fire and
ice).
Anyway, I'm rambling... It's a pretty interesting poem though!! xx

I have studied Robert Frost's poetry and i know that he tends to focus on
the use of nature which is why i think he is refering to ice as a killer of
nature when he says that it will suffice.

i think Robert Frost means that fire and ice can be equally destructive
whether your talking about actual physical destruction or in people. Hate
can be expressed as either a hot temper(fire) or cold silence burrowed deep
inside(ice).

The poem discusses the end of the world, with Frost positing that it could
end in either fire or ice. He relates the two elemental forces with the
human emotions desire and hate, respectively, and suggests that while the
chill might of hate certainly has the power to end the world, his
experiences have led him to believe that it is in the fires of passion that
the end times will be found.
