Post 2: (Poets)

In “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost, Frost chooses that the world end by fire, but then he goes back to say that if the world were to be destroyed twice, then ice could do as well. Fire destroys everything in its path. Ice can destroy and break objects in nature, but ice can also melt away and those that were once frozen can come to life again. He compares desire with fire as if it were like passion… the desire to fully destroy. He compares ice with hate. Hate can be forgiven, and ice can melt away. Robert Frost is an important author because he shows the relation to the end of the world as a passion to destroy it but also how the hate can be forgiven and the world while being destroyed can also be set free.
