the lady and the dog

I'm glad that we had to do the questions associated with this story because they gave me a new insight to its fundamentals. In question 2 we were supposed to pick the story apart by section and determine how the setting related to the action. In section three the weather is cold and everything is dead because it is winter in Moscow. I thought this was a great reflection of the Anna and Dimitri's relationship because by this time she has gone back home to her husband and their relationship is pretty much cold and dead as well.
