Capote’s use of the winter season also leaves the reader with a chilled lonely bitter feeling. Rather than describing the snow in a beautiful and calming way his diction clearly portrayed the biting scene. “In the falling quiet there was no sky or earth, only snow lifting in the wind, frosting the window glass, chilling the rooms, deadening and hushing the city” (39).

One of the gothic elements I have used is the women in distress. Jane seemed to be lonely when Edward died and even terrified as of what could happen next in her life. She knew that her children will soon leave and have their time in life and spend less and less time with her and that she would just simply stay inside and be alone.
The change of name represents only an external, superficial escape which does not necessarily separate herself from her family history. Though the daughter enjoys the prosperity of the new times, she cannot possibly forget what has happened to her family in the past. As she is constantly reminded by her step father that she should stay at home as to prevent seeing the mad man, she can only peep through the curtain to see the outside world. The gloominess of the house represents the darkness of history while her eagerness to going out symbolises youngsters’ reluctance to face history: “As soon as she pulls up the corner of the window curtain, her mind walks on the road of Spring” (Yu Hua 361). Spring signifies hope, revitalisation and future, which immediately forms a strong contrast with the desperation and darkness of
