Season

I'm not sure if we're supposed to post today or not so I guess I will say some more about "Season of Migration to the North." I think another interesting binary in the novel was that of hot and cold, or more specifically "ice" and "warmth." Salih repeats the word "ice" throughout the entire novel. This represents the North and he contrasts this coldness of the North with the warmth of the South. Mustafa longs for the North while the women he seduces seem to possess a natural longing for the wild, warmth of the South. This is just another binary that I found in the novel and wanted to point out.
