IntroductionIn Camphora the theme of being alone in the world without protection is expressed as being alone, in the cold, freezing to death. It feels like a child left alone after birth in the cold. Or an astronaut freezing to death in space.
The first case is that of a baby left in the cold and almost died.
The case of Collins shows the absent parents, father not being the real one, no contact with daughter, family, no lasting relationships; she had the image of being alone in an icy cave.
The theme of isolation, being lost is strong.
Typical for Camphora is the coldness; it is the icy coldness of being in the empty space of the universe, like an astronaut gone astray.
