I'm guessing it represents love
The answer is A. his embarrassment about the cause of his beloved father's death.
The story revolves around Jerome's father dying because he was crushed by a pig that fell from a balcony. Jerome used to idolize his father, perhaps partially because he also lost his mother when he was very young and his father was the only parent he had. As he grew older, he realized people's reactions to this event was laughter. He became embarrased, and this caused him angst.
I would say A, and I think you mentioned Independence, but if you didn't then it is D
The answer is I was unsure how to react.
Hope this helped :)
A conventional drama would have the following elements: <u>a dialogue, a plot, and characters impersonated by actors.</u> Playwrights use these elements to tell a particular story on stage. These three elements pave the way in sparking emotions and thoughts on the people watching the drama.
