Ummm... this poem isn't about the literal destruction of the world. I don't
feel like explaining it all but if you read Dante's Divine Comedy it might
actually make some more sense. Trust me on this; they go together.

The opposite of love is note hate, it is apathy.

For the unanalytical, this story is simply about predicting if the world
will end in fire or ice but if you look further you can see it is a
contrast of the fire and ice in humanity. The world could either end in a
passionate fury of fire which signifies desire or cold disconsolate ice
which lacks the passion of love. Frost makes his choice of passion but then
says if he had another choice he would have chosen ice. For all it's lack
of passion, it does not also have to deal with the hate and sorrow after
the passion is over and one is left in bitterness. Frost would rather not
have loved than to have loved and lost.

I Conor, dubiously review this silly poem and declare Frost was writting
about nothing save fire and ice. Perhaps he was sitting at a campfire
drunk.

I believe that this story is a comparison of to emotions. Hatred and lust
are to powerful emotions that I believe he was feeling at the time he wrote
this very poem. The hatred in his heart was being fought by the lust in his
heart. Mixed emotions got to him, and he express his feelings the only way
he could by poem. If you watch cartoons, think about how cartoon charecters
eyes flame up when they really hate someone. Like Daffy hating Bugs, or
Elmer hating Bugs; it's signifying the hatred for one another. You notice
that you get an icy feeling deep down inside. Like there is no one around
who even gives a damn about you. Thats a thought that sends a chill down my
spine. Comparing fire and ice is an imagery statment that hides the true
meaning of this poem. Which is when you put hate vs. lust you get a
STALMATE.

I THINK THAT FROST IS A VERY TALENTED PERSON. BASICALLY THIS POEM IS A BOUT
HATE. WHAT IT IS TALKING ABOUT IS THE DESIRE TO HATE. BASCiALLY FROST IS
TELLING US HIS OPOIN WHICH IS DESIRE TO STRONGER THAN HATE. EVEN IF HATE
CAN BE VERY STRONG. MAYBE DESTRICTION IS A BETTER WORD THAN STRONG. SO IT
MAY LOOK LIKE JUST A POEM ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT IF YOU LOOK
CLOSER IT'S ABOUT THE DESIRE AND HATE. FROST JUST USES THE END OF THE WORLD
AS A METAPHORE FOR THOSE THINGS.

I believe that Frost is criticizing the modern world. He wrote this poem
after WWI, didnt he? Fire could represent the weapons and wars, while ice
could signify hatred. "From what I've tasted of desire". Is this quote
referring to WWI, and the ice, what is it? The lust between nations? Please
give me some feedback
