redemption and change

• no wind blew that was bitterer than he... the cold within him froze his old features
• at the beginning the weather was " cold, bleak , biting weather "
• at the end the weather had " no fog , no mist "and filled with " golden sunlight "
• i am light as a feather and happy as an angel
• hard and sharp as flint
• external heat and cold had little influence
• every idiot who goes about merry christmas on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart
