What are the three general parts of the introduction? The value a person places on him-herself is largely determined by the value others to give to the person. Sherwood Anderson’s “Death in the Woods” is a story about different kinds of coldness. Most of it is set in lonely woods in winter, and the freezing weather and snow add to the chill. The inhabitants of the small town at the edge of the woods and those on the neighboring farms seem equally cold hearted, remote, and unfeeling. The chief victim of this frozen world is the story’s protagonist, Mrs. Jake Grimes. She is a woman who has suffered all her life from a lack of human warmth. She has been denied any love or tenderness; she exists only to be used.
