"white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy"
does white heat mean...contolled heat? calm heat?...
i was thinking of using this to back up my literary analysis on "The lady, or the Tiger"...I am backing up that the LADY came out of the door...would this work?

When certain substances get very hot - usually metals - they start giving off visible light. Hot iron is red hot - it glows red. Get it a little hotter and it glows orange, more and it glows yellow - at this point it's about to melt. When something gets really really really hot - like, hot molten steel - it gives off all wavelengths of visible light and appears white. That's white hot.
In the quoted passage, white heat is a metaphor for intense energy or emotion. Because molten gold is heated to white hot to burn off impurities, it can also be a metaphor for spiritual purification.

When heating metal, white heat is as hot as the metal is able to become before it melts. Dull red is the coolest temp.
