Question

What is the theme of “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost?

Answer 2

Unchecked emotions are potentially destructive

Step-by-step explanation:

Human passions and affections, of a positive or negative nature —that is to say, either desire or hate— are both powerful engines of one´s own life but also of humanity, history, and culture (of the world of the human being) in general. So powerful are they that they can, indeed, if unchecked, be the source of destruction and annihilation, be that through the fire of desire or through hate´s cold and grey matter.
