1) Characters and characterization, conflict, themes, symbols, point of view, tone, atmosphere, use of time. Historical context. Key rhetorical figures in the text.
2) Ambiguity in the novel.
3) Different interpretations of the novel: the novel as a fairy tale for adults with Zeena as the witch. Ethan as the narrator's "Winterman". Feminist and linguistic readings of the text.
