In “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost, themes referencing humanity's greatest downfalls are discussed. This is shown with symbolism of desire; the fire, and hate; the ice, being the central aspects. A deeper look into the poem and the idea stems back to a class theme with how the desire and hatred that destroys the world most prominently comes from the elite.

Symbolism is used to describe desire for our own selfish wants, and ice for our unforgiving nature and lack of compassionate.
Alliteration is used to show how desire and hate and very similar even if they seem different. “favor fire” “some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice”

"Fire and Ice" Robert Frost RECITED BY POET HIMSELF! classic poem American Literature

# data[].attributes.body
"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."
Hate is now compared to ice and as the narrator says is a great force within itself and would also suffice for the ending of the world. The tone also becomes more authoritative and less casual.

"From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire"
A comparison of fire to desire is made. Saying desire/fire in the narrator's opinion, a more likely end of the world.

"Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice."

The tone throughout much of this poem is set like a conversation or a train of thoughts.
