November 7 is Lidong,one of the 24 solar terms,marking the beginning of winter.Winter
means strong winds and snow-an environment in which it is 1 to be.For this reason,2
of winter from people are normally quite terrible.
This unpleasant and even scary winter weather is used by writers.In Shakespeare's novel
King Lear(1606),the king has given away his country and been 3 by his two daughters.He
is out in the winter cold,4 a hard life that usually belongs to the poorest and meanest human
beings.The winter is bad enough for Lear,but being given up by his family is 5.Here,winter
is used to bring out the ugliness(H)of the human nature.There aren't many things that are
more terrible than winter,according to Shakespeare.
However,other 6 used the cold and scary weather to provide a contrast()to the fun
and the festival atmosphere()going on indoors.Dickens'A Christmas Carol (1843)was the
start of this.Christmas is a common,pleasant thing in stories that is a 7 of winter scenes
today.Think about the joy 8 by Harry Potter and his friends in J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter
and the Philosopher's Stone(1997)as they sit down for their festival meal:"Harry and never in all
his life had such a Christmas dinner-hundreds of fat,roast turkeys;mountains of roast and
boiled potatoes;...silver boats of thick,rich gravy."It is almost as much a pleasure 9 about
the meal as it might have been to eat it.
Although winter 10 isn't the most cheerful season in novels and poems,it's safe to say
that writers have certainly "warmed up"since Shakespeare's days.
