The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full swing. The Season brings along with it strong winds and snow-an environ ment that’s never comfortable to be in.

This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear(1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering things that are usually reserved for the poorest and most unfortunate human beings.

The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being abandoned by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare play, As You Like It(1599)，is fi tting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind, /Thou art not so unkind /As man’s ingratitude(忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity(不人道). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare.

Once winter became less of a threat to human beings ，literary works featuring it became more positive. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy Christmas celebrations.

The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast to the fun going on indoors.

Dickens’A Christmas Carol(1843)was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element(元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’ s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone(1997)as they sit down for their festive meal :

“Harry had never in all his life had“such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turke ys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce”.

It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it.

Although winter stil1 isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have certainly “warmed up”since Shakespeare’s days.

25. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

A. To recommend some winter stories in literature.
