The Thirteenth Tale: Literary Techniques

"... and though she was still pale as death..." (106)

In this scene Ms. Winter is being attacked by her 'wolf' which is the pain that is slowly killing her and she has medication, but she can only take it every few hours and so near the end of the time it comes and attacks. All of the attacks are very surprising because the wolf can sneak up very quietly. In this Ms. Winter was just attacked and lived through to tell Ms. Lea about her wolf. Right after this happened a story was told about how Isabelle, Ms. Winter's mother, was dressed in white and tried to kill a woman in her own home. Isabelle was wearing white and the woman almost saw her gliding, gracefully and she snuck up on her just like the wolf does to Ms. Winter. Death is slowly, quietly coming to attack Ms. Winter one day and it will be pale, almost white just like Isabelle and coming to end the wolf attacks once and for all.
