What is the meaning of title hearth and salamander?

"Hearth and Salamander" uses metaphor to compare domestic life with a wild or fiery creature, specifically a salamander, which is often associated with fire and heat. The term "hearth" refers to the part of a fireplace where the fire burns and is also used symbolically for the home or center of domestic life. So the title suggests a connection between the warmth and comfort of home with the wild, elemental force of fire. It explores the idea of home as a place where opposing elements or forces can coexist peacefully. The salamander, traditionally believed able to live in fire, represents the untamed and unpredictable aspects of life, while the hearth represents stability and familiarity.
