Explain the associations that the colour 'white' has in the story.

उत्तर
White is the colour of light. However, the irony in the story The Lament is that it reflects the gloom portrayed in the story. In the beginning, to show the melancholy of Iona Potapov, the narrator says that he is so white that he looks like a phantom. His horse also appears quite white. Actually white is the colour of snow. And snow reflects despondency and lethargy of the season of winter and how the whole environment and atmosphere appears to be thrown into utter despair. The evening is setting in and everything seems so white and withered. The street lamps' light is also white, replacing the brighter rays. The whole setting, while laying stress on the white surroundings, project the solitude of the poor cab driver.
