Robert Frost in his poem ‘Fire and Ice’ has metaphorically connected fire and Ice with human emotions. The poem begins with a kind of polite difference of opinion of anonymous groups, wherein one believes the world will end in fire, whereas the other believes it will end in ice. This answer could again differ when we analyse from the religious or scientific perspective. At a literal level, ice and fire are both ways the human species could be extinguished. Any natural calamity with reference to this can be the cause of destruction and ruin. In other contexts, fire and Ice also represent different kinds of human emotions. Emotions like anger and frustration are related to fire, whereas hatred and indifference are related to ice.
