One of the more interesting points that was brought up during the discussion was how the flame under the pot was thought to be a comparison to hell. This would set things in motion and eventually be our demise. I thought this was an interesting point because the author only said 'the flame beneath the pot' and everyone automatically assumed he was referring to hell.
I now have a new perspective on the poem. When I first read it, I did not assume that the author was talking about hell, but merely events in nature that set things in motion. I also thought that the author might even be referring to pollution in a way.
