Porphyria's Lover -> 1840's -> lights a fire -> no electricity. Notes on Time and Sequence- The Road -> takes place over a few months -> he says "winter is coming" which signifies passing of time Slowest part is when he's waiting for his dad to die, Time creates emphasis on their journey across this metaphorical and physical journey Novel ends on a bit of a cliffhanger - It's the beginning of the child's journey, and the end of the fathers. Woman's story is revealed over time -> slow exposition -> keeps reader interested Emphasis on trying to get over the mountain before the winter kills them -> This makes time all the more important Father's condition gets worse over times Winter is coming, so the man wants to get over the mountain range Not really explicit, but mentions days passing Relating The Road to Time and Sequence- Takes place over a period of weeks
