On the surface, at least, this family seems to be perfectly comfortable in their life. Although the setting outside is bleak and cold and dark, the setting inside is warm and very family oriented. Mr. White is comfortable in this setting until he begins to think about the possibility that he is not comfortable with the life he has.
