The connotative word for me is PITIFULLY or pitifully young. This means very young and it refers to the woman in the text.
It would seem that the words used invoked negative emotions because the narrator is saying that the girl is very young to be married. It would seem as though the narrator is questioning the rightness of the bride's decision of getting married at a very young age.

"The driving idea behind the creation of a literary work is known as the theme." i really hope that this helped
A gerund looks like a verb but functions the same way as a noun. But, why does it look like verbs? What does it have in a sentence that a verb does? OBJECT is your answer. They both have objects. For instance, in the sentence, "I dropped my coffee mug" The gerund is "dropped" and it dropped an object (mug). Therefore, your answer is Object.
Let me know if you need anything else.
