The correct one for me is B-  Mrs. X seems to be more experienced or showing the main things for her in life. It's possible that Miss Y hasn't got any children and also may have no idea about theatre or plays. It may be possible that she's not married or she may  not have her own home due to  the despcription  starting: "Home is the best of all,..."

Answer:

D. It’s sinful to sit here and make fun of ones husband this way when he is kind and a good little man.”

Explanation:

"The Stronger" by August Stridnberg is a play in one scene. The play is a monologue by Mrs. X, who is talking to Miss Y. Miss Y was the former lover of Mrs. X's husband, and Mrs. X is telling the story of how this affected her. Throughout the play, it is difficult to establish which one of the two women is "the stronger." In this case, the line establishes that Mrs. X feels superior because she refers to Miss Y's husband as "good little man" which sounds very patronizing. She also tells Miss Y what is sinful and how she ought to behave.

How does Capote, as a writer, handle the actual murder of the Clutter family? in the novel "in cold blood"
Ronch [10]

"In cold blood" is a faction novel, which means it is fiction based on facts. It tells a story of a horrible murder committed by D.ck Hickock and Perry Smith on Friday 13th 1959 in Holcomb, Kansas. On that night the Clutter family was killed by them.

Truman Capote stumbled across a short article in New York Times and got very intrigued by the story. He was waiting for a long time for a story spin like this.

In his book "In cold blood" Capote prepares his readers for the horrible events that are going to happen. Even  the name of the book gives a hint to the reader, so it is known that  somebody is going to die.

The perspective of the narration switches back and forth which involves the reader more into the story. When the perspective switches to D.ck and Perry, while Clutters are still alive, it makes the reader wonder when the murder is going to happen. With this literately device Capote plays with his reader building up the tension.

At some degree the author tries to make this horrible event a little bit less shocking for his audience. Capote creates suspense by putting questions in his readers heads like: "When the family is going to die?, How will it happen? What will I feel?".

Capote handles the murder by creating suspense because the reader before starting the book already knows that the family gets killed and the murderers get executed, therefore this book is a test of how you will react to the described events.
