Furthermore, the use of natural imagery heightens the sense of mental instability within the narrator as she is evidently affected by harmless presence of nature. However, whilst it can be argued that the narrator’s dislike for the “sloven season” is as a result of the affect it has on her mentally, it can also be interpreted to affect her heart, as it is in reference to her “lover” who is “unbalancing the air”.
