Other peoples noses are rudely assailed by the sharp fingers of the grim ice king, but not my lady\u2019s; other peoples lips turn pale and blue with the chilling influence of the bitter weather, but my lady\u2019s pretty little rosebud of a mouth retained its brightest coloring and cheeriest freshness\u201d (121)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This passage takes notice of Lady Audley\u2019s features during her visit with Robert Audley after he was kicked out of Audley Court. It takes into account how Lady Audley stands out in such brutal weather. Words such as \u201cradiant\u201d and \u201cbrightest coloring and cheeriest freshness\u201d combat phrases like \u201cOther peoples noses are rudely assailed by the sharp fingers of the grim ice king\u201d and \u201cother peoples lips turn pale and blue with the chilling influence of the bitter weather\u201d. A key couple words in this passage would have to be \u201cOther people\u2019s\u201d and the use of \u201cbut\u201d due to their repition. Through these words the reader gets an understanding that Lady Audley is not like any ordinary person. It stresses that she is to be taken as an individual, something that stands out in a harsh environment almost as if she was born into it. The passage is also structured around one short intro sentence followed by a very detailed long sentence that takes into account her individuality. The use of adjectives brings about a bright side and a dark side to the passage. It makes the reader think \u201cHow can she be so happy in this gruesome, dark weather?\u201d This leads to question her true character. The figurative language in this passage enables the reader to compare and contrast her character to the environment as well. The phrase \u201crudely assailed by the sharp fingers of the grim ice king\u201d brings a sense of viciousness to the passage, perhaps foreshadowing the true character of Lady Audley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLucy Audley was radiant on this cold and snowy January morning.
