Question

Analyse how the poem "The cold within" is relevant to the mentality of the people and how it has to be changed​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Cold within refers to the lack of feelings for or hatred of , others which is a unforgivable sin. Many of us fall a prey to this coldness or hatred within our hearts due to racial discrimination or hatred and this leads to our doom. This prejudice may result due to race, colour, creed, caste or region. It changes our thinking and corrupts us making us mean, cruel, greedy or unkind. Six men in the poem had a stick each and could have kept the fire going by relinquishing their sticks and all would have been saved. But the frigidity of their hearts prevented them from saving the others. This is the major theme that the colness in men’s heart is a kind of death.
