1. when the six people were found together there was a cold climate which was bleak and bitter .
it is extremely cold and the fire that is keeping them warm is dying.
2. the third man is the poor man and he does not put his log to use to prevent the rich man from getting warm .
he does not want the rich man to be helped by his act of kindness .
3 . the black man is revengeful and with animosity , is his character built .
he does not put his stick of wood in the logfire because he wants to take revenge from the fair man and cause harm to him .
4. The Last Man is opportunist.
he is ruled by selfishness .
he plays a game of giving only those who may give him something in return .
so he too does not put his words to the Logfire .
5. yes according to me the title of the poem The Cold within is symbolic of lack of warmth and compassion in the human beings .
six humans are caught against their will in bleak and bitter cold but none of them uses the wooden stick each one has due to racism envy ,arrogance ,revenge and greed.
the atmosphere is cold but there is no hope for anyone to survive not only from the cold outside but from the cold inside that they do not realise that by not helping others they themselves will perish ..
