    Winter is portrayed as a callous season. Our narrator is too afraid of being harmed by the harsh winds of winter, to allow herself to open up and seek comfort in sharing. Winter does not represent an actual physical season, but rather an internal state of mind. So chilled is the narrators heart that she cannot feel comfortable enough to seek warmth. But, it is in those harsh winter months that one must open up the most, and find human connection in order to survive. Winter cannot be survived on one’s own. The reader must ask what has made our narrator so unhappy that she cannot seek or make her own comfort but rather be forced to wait passively until warmer and safer days.
