The main theme or message in the story "Marigolds" is the importance of empathy and compassion.
In the story, Lizabeth is reflecting on a crossroads in her life, an incident that marked the change from child to woman. She is apparently honest with readers in telling us how brutal and hostile she was on the day she attacked Miss Lottie verbally and then attacked her property.
Before the day she tore up the old lady's marigolds, she had not thought of Miss Lottie as a person. In fact, Lizabeth and her friends always used to yell, "Witch!" at the old lady. On that particular day, Lizabeth first took the leading role in yelling furiously at her, repeatedly calling her a witch. Later that day, she returned to her house and tore the marigolds out of the ground. Miss Lottie, however, did not yell at the girl; she just looked deeply sad and wondered why she did it. Lizabeth looked into the "sad, weary eyes" of another human being.
At the story's end, the adult Lizabeth explains the impact:
In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have both compassion and innocence . . .
The state of mind is revealed by the quote, “all the smoldering emotions of that summer swelled in me and burst" is an overwhelming feeling of helplessness caused by the narrator’s new understanding of the world. This is the feeling of knowing new aspect of her life.
The passage clearly shows that narrator was not aware of her family's situation. She suddenly came to know the truth of their poverty. This feeling of realization that they are poor has made her emotionally week. She is not at all mentally stable to make correct decision or think positively. She has mixed feelings of helplessness, anger and hopelessness.
