Answer Details

The setting of T.S. Eliot's 'Journey of the Magi' is characterized by coldness. In the poem, the Magi describe their journey to Bethlehem, which is set in winter, and they speak of the harsh weather they faced during their travels, such as the "sudden fierce frost" and the "worst time of the year." The coldness of the setting is used to reinforce the difficult and challenging nature of the journey that the Magi undertake in order to witness the birth of Jesus.
