Fire And Ice Analysis
Author: Poetry of Robert Frost Type: Poetry Views: 1236474
 |
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Yeah Fire and Ice was how if the word was to end it would be consumed by love, or compassion instead of being caught up in hatred. But yes the poem does relate to Frost because if the world did end in Ice, he has a sence of power, so that he would be satisfied otherwise. G

I think this poem is basically how the world will end. Fire representing desire and passion and ice meaning cold hearted greed. Robert Frost says it will end it fire but if it had to end again it would probably end in ice.

The more you keep it simple the more it makes sense.
Robert Frost speculates on the theories of others and does not tell us if he thinks it could happen at all, just that it it does here is his ideas.
Love is stronger than hate and can ultimately be more severe as a weapon. Hatred is almost as strong and can do the same amount of damage. He understands this and he chooses love but knows that he wouldn't count out hate to do the job as well.
and for the person who commented about this poem after reading eclipse: As weird as it may sound, Edward is fire and Jacob is ice

I love poetry whether it be for the purpose of esthetics, persuasion, communication, venting, etc ... because it generally makes the reader try to think expansively. People often try to attribute meaning, in "generalized" poems such as this, based on cultural, personal, historical or emotional influences.
I always like to look at poetry from a few different perspectives. Taking a broad standpoint I'd suggest that the author is trying to convey fire as strong emotion (e.g. love, greed, envy, jealousy, vexation, etc ... pick your poison) and ice as a complete lack thereof. Now let's step back and look at it from another point of view. Robert Frost's poems often show a deep appreciation of the natural world as well as human aspiration. His childhood was filled with loneliness, depression, and confusion. If viewed this way then I would take my earlier portrayal of fire one step further and suggest that it conveys intense loneliness and depression. Ice, on the other hand, symbolyzes hatred through complete lack of compassion. Furthermore, this would also make sense from a historical standpoint. The poem was published in 1920 and would exemplify the sentiments of a generation in a world that has just been brutalized by one of the most horrific wars in human history, World War I.
Anyway, just my two cents ... I'd further elaborate, but my girlfriend is pestering me to go make her some grub. Good day folks!

I do not think that this poem is about global warming. That's ridiculous. It's about people, of course.
What I think Robert Frost is saying, is that people are more prone to passions and violent emotions, i.e. love, anger, and desire obviously. I think "I hold with those who favor fire." means that he is simply human and that he feels love, anger, desire, etc, over the colder emotions.
I think "But if it had to perish twice," means that if he had a different perspective of his life, or lived again, with the knowledge of his previous life, that he would be tempted to feel hate, coldness, emptiness, because he already knows how his world ended with more passionate emotions.
I think he is saying that people react in different ways and is showing us the way he felt and reacted. But by seeing how other people lived, he also knew of the power of the cold.
They both are destructive, and I think he is saying that there is always a balance, whereas if one dominated and dimminished, the other would surely take over.
That's just me.

Refering to a saying: Better to burn out than to fade away. I think that robert frosts poem is similar to this saying.
Fire- To burn out.
Ice- To fade away.
Fire- Instant and an outward burst.
Ice- Lasting and mindfully keeping to ones self.
In Contrast to popular responses, i believe poem means that the WORLD's end is inevitable.
That you must choose how you live while inhabiting the earth.
I also believe that Robert imlpies that he has lived the life of fire in the past, but if he could do it again he believes that a life of ice would be much more wise.
Like everything in life it all has to do with perspective.
Personaly i believe that the way I want to live is as if i were in the arctic, i would just have a heater to bring with me. In my case, my girlfriend. I like to do wise things while she lives for the moment. That is why I believe it is important to choose someone that balances yourself out together.
THis is similar to BELLA and EDWARD's relationship. I think that's why the author of TWILIGHT made a referance to the poem: "Fire and Ice".

I first saw this poem in the Twilight series and itis awsome. The problem is it kinda contradicts the book because Bella ends up choosing Edward (of course), who is ice, over Jacob, who is fire.
PS Edward is mine, so back off!!! (I love vampires

I believe that fire is symbolic for love, and ice is symbolic for hate. that would mean that human beings could be corrupted by love, and can be corrupted by hate. Frost believes that love will ultimately destroy people in the end. But he also knows that hatred would be just as effective as to destroying.

Ice is the antithesis of fire and hate is the antithesis of love. So I believe that fire and ice are symbolic of our passions and it becomes apparant that the world is not united in passion, nor in hatred. It implies a divide between those who display their love and those who display hated in wars and the like. When Frost says "I hold with those who favor fire.", it again, suggests that fire is symbolic of passion and love, as he clearly doesn't wish the world to erupt in hatred. "I think i know enough of hate", implies that there is a great deal of hatred in the world and he seems to be having a sly dig at society, reinforced when he says, "And would suffice".
This poem, I feel, is definitely a commentary on society and that people should unite before the divide between love and hatred becomes unequal and this hatred overrides love.

I believe that the last lines of this poem are saying that both fire and ice must work together, and in doing this, the world will not have to perish. The main idea of this poem in this sense would be that we need to unite, despite all of our differences. As long as there are enemies, the world will be in war.

Does anyone think it's possible that this poem is about love? It's just an idea so don't jump dowm my throat. I thought Frost could be saying that from what he knew of love, it always ended in fire (i.e. pain etc) but perhaps its better, if the second time around, it ends in ice (ie cold and possibly heartless.) Thats just my opinion though ^_^;

ive read the poem and can summarise in all certainty that bob frost was the first human activist, somehow identifying in 1923 the potential problems with environmental issues such as global warming. and for that i applaud him.

in this poem robert frost is here to convey that the world would end two times one in ice and the other in fire if it was to first it would end in fire and then ice.because ppl are are really filled with sensual and sexual emotions in them wich is lyk fire . and ice wich doesnt hav any emotions at all.for instance keep ur hand a while in refrigerator u will feel numb for a while this is a clear experience .
fire is a quick process while ice is a real slow process.

i first read this poem in the twilight series i thought it was freaken awesome. the two powers were fire(jacob) and ice(edward). they both bring destruction but they also can work together even if they can't stand each other. fire is desire an ice is hate at least thats what everyone is saying but i don't really agree with the meaning of ice. yes ice is cold but it doesn't mean that they are bad and hateful. it just means that they haven't found the right thing like LOVE. one could change when they find this emotion.
well that what i think.

.: putting in my opinion :.
In this certain poem i do not believe Robert Frost is talking about the world ending. He is basically explaining 2 different attitudes, yet both can be lethal and destructive. He descibes "Fire" as desire. It's all consuming, greedy, painful, and destructive. He also uses "Ice" to explain hatred. It is also destructive and all consuming but is solid, stationary, and can be an empty, barren feeling. But even though fire and ice are completely different, they both have the will and power to lead to destruction and damage anything it consumes.

This poem is talking about what happens before the New Jerusalem happens. It's talking about how people have conflicts on wheather or not the world as we know it will end in Fire or if it will end in ice. THe whole point is talking about how he would rather die if he had to die at the end of the world.

i relate this to the entire situation from the twilight series and i must say that i would chose ice over fire. (edward over jacob no doubt)
but that would be bias from considering it from my personal response to the book.

The world don't end with fire or ice....just this poem is write it like indirectly way to say "two different attitude" of the human being.

.: Fire n Ice :.
There are many ideas about how the world will end. According to Frost in this poem, Fire stands for conflict, avarice, fury, intolerance, lust , rigidity etc etc.. and ice stands for insensitivtiy, greed, coldness, cruelty, indifference and hatred. He says that both Fire and Ice will lead to destruction, But he stands with those who favour fire aka Desire. :)
But he says that ice can also be destructive leading to the end of this world!!!

.: WOO :.
ive managed to break the poem down i could write tons on this but i cbf lol
'FIRE' and 'ICE' are binary opposite.Metaphorical: temptations ultimately leads to inplosion and/or destruction of the physical or spiritual this.You can see a biblical allusion in the poem: apocalypse...revelations? fire represents warmth and embrace hence the feeling of goodness in our hearts, hate is a strong word, cold, represents evil...scientifically:sun expands upon its ending of life cycle, engulfs planets=fire, a coming of a second ice age possibly:ice much more to say
heres a note: WHAT IF WHAT IF ROBERT SAT THERE AND WAS LIKE HEEH IM GONA WRITE A POEM SO KIDS DOING THER HSC WILL SUFFER? BAH WHAT IF?!lol thats my theory
