Question
For Frost, what do fire and ice stand for?

Answer

The word ‘fire’ stands for 'desire'. In the poem, it indicates all types of greed and lust to have more and more possessions. The word ‘ice’ in the poem indicates 'hatred and indifference' which is as cold as ‘ice’. Unlike fire, it grows slowly but can be more destructive and is sufficient to devastate the world twice.
