"It was getting a little chilly, the fire was dying"(Wright 210).
Although literally the fire in the Dalton house was dying, so was the fire within Bigger. At the start of his endeavor, Bigger was invigorated by the feelings brought on by his constant danger. These feelings however seem to be wearing him down, making him more nervous and restless than excited. The drive, the fire to continue is dying out as the world seems to be closing in on him and his crime. The snow that is the white world is putting the fire out, the fire that is the drive is diminishing, it is only a matter of time before Bigger caves in completely and feels the sting of frost bite.
