"The rain, of course. It came midway though the third day, clouds the color of iron filings, the lake hammered to iron too, and the storm that crashed through the trees and beat at their tent with a thousand angry fists (p.4)." This quotation is all the more salient for the fact that in the subsequent paragraph the author mentions that the lovers have neglected to bring sufficient protection. The imagery of the angry fists and the grey storm ravaging trees foreshadows the consequences of such neglect.
Boyle employs a similar sense of foreboding by utilizing imagery inherent in Winter to foreshadow the trouble which the will beset upon the characters when China gives birth. Although the setting is in mid-December, the following quotation, in which China is going to meet Jeremy at a hotel to give birth and then destroy her child, is definitely like Winter in tone and feel, largely due to the imagery used in it. "By eight, the rain had turned to ice and every branch of every tree was coated with it, the highway littered with glistening black sticks, no moon, no stars, the tires sliding out from under her…(p.6)." Literally, Winter is the time of year typified by cold, a lack of life, and the death of natural things such as flowers, trees, and other such verdure.

One of the essential elements in a Greek tragedy, of course, is death, and to that end, Boyle's work certainly classifies as one. Whether or not China does actually testify against Jeremy at the story's conclusion, however, may be alluded to by the fact that she still regards him as her love.
