Question

(iv) The poet says that the characters "died from the cold within". What does he mean? the cold within​

Answer 1

Explanation:

By the phrase “the cold within” the poet means the coldness of the hearts — the lack of warm human spirits of the six persons who gathered around the dying fire in that winter evening. ... Therefore the poet commented that the death was not due to the cold outside, it was the cold within their hearts that killed them.
