Thinking about the Poem
1. There are many ideas about how the world will end. Do you think the world will end some day? Have you ever thought what would happen if the sun got so hot that people could not live on the earth?
Answer: Yes, I think the world may end some day. If the sun became so hot that people could not live on the earth, life would become impossible. The earth would become extremely hot and living beings would not be able to survive.
2. For Frost, what do 'fire' and 'ice' stand for?
Answer: For Frost, fire stands for desire, passion and uncontrolled human emotions. Ice stands for hatred, coldness and indifference. Both can lead to destruction.
3. What is the rhyme scheme of the poem? How does it help in bringing out the contrasting ideas in the poem?
Answer: The rhyme scheme of the poem is aba abc bcb. The rhyming words create a musical effect and connect the contrasting ideas of fire and ice. The short structure and rhyme also make the poem's message sharp and memorable.
4. What is the effect of the repetition of the words 'some say' and 'I think'?
Answer: The repetition of "some say" presents the opinions of different people about how the world might end. "I think" presents the poet's own opinion. This makes the contrast between the two possibilities clear.
5. What do you think would be a better way to end the world — with fire or ice? Why?
Answer: Both fire and ice would be destructive. However, if I had to choose between them, I would choose ice, because the poet suggests that ice, or hatred, is also powerful enough to destroy the world. The poem shows that both uncontrolled desire and hatred can cause destruction.
