Pride and arrogance
{"Image DocumentName": "Pride and arrogance", "Image ImageDescription": "The pride of the central protagonist is evident in his decision to not listen to all of the advice from the old-timer. As a newcomer to the area, the man is described as having very little knowledge and no experience of surviving such cold temperatures and yet he chooses to travel alone despite what he has been told. His lack of foresight and imagination is elemental to the arrogance on display and his treatment of his dog serves to emphasize a desire to control nature. This arrogance is punished in the narrative as he comes to recognize that he finally has no choice but to give into death. Because of his death, the narrative has a moral edge that demonstrates how arrogance and individualism are destructive forces. These two qualities are depicted as being interrelated as the man\u2019s decision to travel alone is in keeping with both his arrogance and the individualistic way of life.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
