Fire and Ice

Ahhh poetry. So evocative, so enriching and relaxing. The best part about poetry is interpreting it however you want. Even if that means vampires and werewolves.

Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost

While reading this poem for my English class, I came across some interpretations of its meaning. This Steph girl seems to have it all figured out.



So "Fire and Ice" is really about Edward vs. Jacob. And clearly Robert Frost was on Team Jacob because "she" favored fire?

Never mind that Robert Frost wrote this poem in 1920, a good 90 years before Twilight existed, because "anyon who think this poem aint about twilight are stupid."

I submit that Twilight is making the children stupid. Robert Frost may have been right.

Thanks Steph, I was WAY off.

  1. Do you think that "Steph" is actually Stephenie Meyer?
