Plato Answer:
Both poems raise questions. "Fire and Ice" questions the destructive nature of human emotions and their capacity for destruction. "Design" questions the existence of fate or “intelligent design." However, the poems are very different in their style and structure. "Fire and Ice" is a single-stanza poem with nine lines and an uneven meter. "Design," on the other hand, follows a Petrarchan sonnet's structure and is primarily written in iambic pentameter. Because the topics and the styles in both poems are so different, it’s hard to tell if they were written by the same poet.

Explanation:
Yevgeny's problem is that his seven year old son has been caught smoking tobacco by the governess, and , what's more, the son actually stole the tobacco rom Yevgeny's desk.
Yevgeny's wife, the boy's mother, has died, and he regrets that he really has no notion of how o speak to the child about the smoking, he does not think that smoking is all that bad as an habit after all he does it himself, and he does not know how to impress upon the child the seriousness of lying about that kinda behavior.
"Yevgeny Petrovitch finds it as strange and absurd that he, an experienced advocate, who spent half of his life in the practice of reducing people to silence, forestalling what they had to say, and punishing them, was completely at a loss and did not know what to say to the boy."
