Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: According to the poet, the world will end due to the ‘fire’, which symbolises desire. But if the world had to end twice then it will be due to the hatred symbolised by ‘ice’. The poet feels that there is enough hatred in the world that is spreading among the people.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some people think that world will end in fire because “fire” stands for hatred, conflict, fury, avarice and greed. Here the the poet is ironically taunting over to the people who conflict, people who have hatred for each other, people who have too much of greed etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term ‘fire’ and ‘ice’, in the poem, symbolizes ‘desires’ and ‘hatred’ respectively. Some people say that the world will end in ‘ice’ because the world is full of hatred. And this emotion contains the power to destroy the world.
