The innovation of “meeting death with dignity”(pg.128 para. 3) is the final stage to the man’s realization that he was to die. The idea to “sleep off to death”(pg.128 para. 3) and the statement, “Freezing was not so bad as people thought. There were lots worse ways to die.” is an additional step towards the conclusion we had all suspected when the fire was put out. The setting is further developed by these accounts and the harshness of the Arctic winters are even more realized. Thus, London’s setting within the unfeeling Yukon is both descriptive and arousing. The major action takes place after the fire is put out, leading to the climax of the story when the man begins his realization that death had found him. In this way, London uses setting to show the extent of the man’s situation and the death that will surely follow if you underestimate it. The events of the story, the unrelenting cold, and the man’s final death are all tied together by London’s expert control of setting.
