  • thanks makes my english A2 exam today alot easier.

    P.S. atom/nuclear bombs were not around in 1923 so it cant be that at all.

  • Thanks for your remark.

    No, you're right, of course atomic bombs were not contemplated until the late 1930's.

    However the idea of the world ending through a great and fiery war was very common in this age of the Wasteland following the Great War.

    Note Eliot's image on post-war Europe from 1925 This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.

  • Thank you i enjoyed your short lecture,as i do not have many people close to me interested in such a discussion. lol thank you for allowing my video response and your comment.

  • The Fire stands for passion and people acting towards each other - being very agressive. Ice means people being hostile to each other, also cold to others feelings, kind of not caring at all. What Robert Frost meant to say was that a lot of people suppose the agressive behaviour will be the end (wars, etc.) but it actually only takes people not giving a damn about each other.

  • I don't think he's talking about that stuff, I can't agree with you.

  • Wow, thank you for that! I have to dissect a poem for my creative writing class and this just helped, like, a lot more. Thank you!!!!!!!

  • I love this poem so much! I read and heard it in the book and movie eclipse and I memorized it and it's so awesome :) ( team Jacob 4ever) lol

  • This guy looks like he would have a British accent.

  • he's talking about intensity combining both thing... :) i love this poem

  • a wonderful analysis! thanks for the interpretation :)
