"The Little match girl" symbolic of the girl's isolation and sadness.

is it sooooooo___________,_____________
Hello friends.
We must shed light on the very first sentence of the story:
“It was bitterly cold, snow was falling and darkness was gathering, for it was the last evening of the old year – it was New Year’s Eve”.
Such abrupt beginning is, on one hand, a symbolic projection of the girl’s bleak existence leading to the arrival of eternal nightfall in her life and on the other hand it is a new beginning in the girl’s life in the abode of blissful eternity.
In the second paragraph the writer emphasizes the poor girl’s utter wretchedness by putting stress on the initial letter of ‘b’ in the two consecutive words: ‘bareheaded and barefoot’.
The girl’s “naked feet which were red and blue with the cold” is representative of the nakedness of the so-called civilized society where the poor girl is deprived of her basic rights.
Her hair got entangled with snowflakes which are nothing but trials and tribulations in her life.
Lights shining in every window and smell of roast goose in the street symbolically present the comfort of the rich which the little girl is denied of and which she desires to have.
She felt colder and colder – it is again the repetition of initial ‘c’ letter through which the writer suggests boring, monotonous poverty of the girl.
hope it's helpful for you...
