Fridge Brilliance
- The end of Wintersmith states that the Wintersmith and Summer Lady are not so different. The Wintersmith's eternal winter and the Summer Lady's summer are both equally barren. Roland lampshades the fact that the Summer Lady's Orphean Rescue is an analogy for the coming of spring, and one well known example is the story of Persephone. However, the Greek barren season is summer, when it's too hot to grow anything. Persephone is more like the Wintersmith emerging from the underworld than the Summer Lady.
