Fire and Ice Thinking about the Poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nThere are many ideas about how the world will \u2018end\u2019. Do you think the world will end some day? Have you ever thought what would happen if the sun got so hot that it \u2018burst\u2019, or grew colder and colder?
\nAnswer:
\nAnything that has a beginning will have an end. One who is born will certainly die. This is true about this world too. If the sun got so hot that it burst, the whole of the earth would perish immediately as no part of the earth can bear the heat of that intensity. But if the sun becomes colder and colder, again everything would come to an end as the sunlight gives birth to life in the world.<\/p>\n

Fire and Ice Long Answer Question<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nIt is a Hobson\u2019s Choice that the poet faces in the poem \u2018Fire and Ice\u2019. Illustrate this thought, with the help of examples from the poem.
\nAnswer:
\nThe poem talks about the end of the world by fire, which symbolizes greed in humanity. Others feel that the end will come about by ice, which symbolizes hate. Thus humanity faces a choice which is really no choice, because the end result is destruction in both cases. The choices are illustrated on a personal level, as both of them affect individual destruction equally.<\/p>\n

The poet uses a tight and clipped method of presenting the choices to emphasize the importance of his message of there being no alternatives. The theme of the poem, based on destruction through greed and hatred, illustrates the proverb Hobson\u2019s Choice, gives the poem a profound and meaningful undercurrent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
