"Even though it was six o'clock, there was no sense of approaching dawn"

This quote speaks to the concept of a sense of hopelessness and misery. It is 6 o'clock in the morning, the time when the sun is usually starting to rise and the day is starting anew. Nevertheless, in this case, there is no sense of approaching dawn, no sense of hope or optimism. Rather, there is a sensation of darkness and despair, a feeling that the night will never end and that the darkness will never be raised. This quote speaks with the concept that sometimes, no matter how hard we attempt, we can't appear to find a way out of our misery and darkness. It is a tip that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope which the dawn will eventually come.
