Chill in the air

[Evelyn1428]

Hi everybody!


I've just seen the last episode of Revenge and there is a sentence that I can't really figure out what it means.

The context:
Many believe there is no such thing as too much love. That its warmth is a comfort from which we never tire. But when love turns to obsession, it consumes itself. The flame that nourished becomes angry, merciless, an all-consuming blaze. Leaving us confused by the chill in the air and the hate left behind.

So the "leaving us confused by the chill in the air" part is that I don't understand.
Is "chill" here meaning "cold" or something different?

Can anyone help me with this sentence?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, if there is "a chill in the air", it is a little bit cold.

Thanks for your answer.

So it means: After the all-consuming blaze when it gets a little bit cold we got confused?
Or something like that?


Sorry, if my English is not that good.

In that use, "chill" means a bad feeling. The warmth of love has become cold.

Thank you for your help.

Now it's clear.

Apologies, I thought you had understood the phrase in its context but wanted the literal meaning. If you walk into a room and there is a chill in the air, it could be a little cold, or the room could contain two people who don't get on or who have just had a row (or similar) and there is a "chilly atmosphere".
