PRESENTATION OUTLINE
BLOW BLOW THOU WINTER WIND
The purpose is that "Thou art not so unkind as a mans ingratitude." In other words the wind will blow as hard as it can, but will not be as painful as society.
The theme is to be kind and not harsh as the winter wind chooses to be.
The tone is strong but bitter because a mans ingratitude makes them harsh and people don't need to act like that.
The mood leaves the reader thinking about their actions and concerned about society.
