Question

How is this the story of another "jilting"? What is similar between that fateful day of sixty years ago (described in paragraphs 29, 49, and 61) and the time when Granny is dying? This time, who is the "bridegroom" who is not in the house?

Answer 1

Answer: Hello! Apparently, your question seems to be lacking the text that goes with it, but fortunately we were able to find it! Answering your question, here goes the explanation:

The story is jilting because the same ending happens repeatedly to Granny. Sixty years before, she was left in the altar and her bridegroom never came. Now, in her deathbed, she sees herself waiting for another bridegroom: God, and he also doesn't show up to take her to heaven.
