As readers the setting was able to show us the man’s arrogance as already explained. The setting also revealed his inadequacy and carelessness. When the man found himself in the springs, he knew the importance to quickly build a fire. But his carelessness showed when he did not build the fire in the proper place in the open. Because of his inadequacy he instead builds this fire under a spruce tree; and as he pulls twigs to grow the fire he disrupts the layers of snow on the tree. The snow then falls putting out his fire, and again exposing the man to these tremendously harsh elements. The man then shows us his determination to live and fear of death. As he tries to build a fire in an open space, he ironically lights all of his matches on fire because he is unable to properly use his limbs due to the negligence, he then burns his hands (but yet still unable to build a new fire.) The nameless man starts to fear for his life and begins to run around trying to get blood to flow to his limbs “like a chicken with his head cut
