An author wants to show that a character is old and nearing his or her death. What season would be an appropriate setting to introduce the character to the audience? (5 points)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The appropriate season would be winter.

Explanation:

The four seasons are often used as symbols in literature. Spring, for instance, is usually associated with rebirth, renovation, happiness, or youth. On the other hand, winter is mostly used to symbolize something or someone that is approaching death. Winter is, after all, a deadly season. If it does not kill, at least it makes plants and animals dormant, silent, still. All of these are associated with death. For that reason, if an author wishes to introduce a character that is old and nearing his or her death, the appropriate season would be winter.
