Question

Why does the poet support those who favour fire to end the world?

✓

Answer

Robert Frost has in his poem; 'Fire and Ice' talked about two beliefs of people about how the world will end.
One set of people believe that the world will be burned and destroyed by fire.
He seconds them and compares fire to the desires of men.
The uncontrolled and unending desires have made men greedy and this leads to jealousy and this will destroy the world.
