has prowess on the battlefield. The protagonist in the novel is
extremely concerned with being hyper-masculine and devalues everything

The writer allows the reader to realize that Mrs McPherson was a very oppressed woman when married, but now she is experiencing a freedom and independence that she had never felt before.
Explanation:
Mrs McPherson spent her life devoting herself to her husband and children. When the husband became ill, he had to take care of him and the family's work, neglecting himself and his will. However, when he dies, it is as if a weight is lifted off her back and she felt free and ready to be independent and spend her time with herself, being responsible for herself alone.
With this, the writer makes the reader realize that Mrs McPherson was excluded from the marriage, but from the moment that marriage no longer existed, she can get rid of this oppression by becoming completely free.
