There are many. 'The Necklace' is a well - known short story. It has themes like pride and the consequences of vanity. In February, when people might be reflecting on relationships and social standings, it can be an interesting read. Also, 'A Rose for Emily' which is a rather dark and mysterious short story set in the South.
Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great short story that could be associated with February as it's about selfless love, which is often emphasized during this month. Another one could be 'To Build a Fire' which shows the harshness of nature in a short and impactful way.
