Question

Elizabeth and John have a heated argument regarding his recent relationship with Abigail. Elizabeth is still upset and is potentially even holding a grudge. She says she forgives John, but he says, “You forget nothin’ and forgive nothin’ […] an everlasting funeral marches round your heart.” Is Elizabeth justified in her current feelings toward John and the affair? Why or why not?
Pls someone help, I don't have time

Answer 1

We can see that Elizabeth is somehow justified in her current feelings toward John and the affair.

This is because it's revealed that John spoke with Abigail, his former lover when they were alone. But he made Elizabeth believe that he was never alone with Abigail.

What is justification?

Justification refers to the action taken to actually show or validate that something done or said is right and acceptable. People tend to justify their actions or decisions whenever they feel that their actions are right.

We see here that for the fact that John spoke with Abigail alone but tries to make Elizabeth feel otherwise, then Elizabeth is in a way justified to feel the way she felt towards John and the affair.
