Coldness is a prominent theme in both Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome and Wallace Stevens’ "The Snow Man." When one thinks of coldness‚ the misery‚ the emptiness‚ and the lack of life associated with it also come to mind.

For the simple fact that this story is very easy to follow‚ very descriptive‚ and based on events that don’t often happen‚ younger readers enjoy this book over “Hunters in the Snow.” “Hunters in the Snow” is also based around hunting as well.
