Figurative Language
One of the major symbols in the novel was the winter setting. Symbolism is usually taking a non-living object or a concrete object and giving it a meaning that fits into a story line. The winter setting symbolizes mystery, darkness, sadness, loneliness, and stressfulness. All of which Ethan experiences throughout some point in the novel.
"One would have supposed that such an atmosphere must quicken the emotions as well as the blood; but it seemed to produce no change except that of retarding still more the sluggish pulse of Starkfield." (pg. 13)
