Answer:

By comparing their aunt to an oyster, the narrator is saying that the aunt is  defenceless/an open book.

Explanation:

To understand this metaphor, you first need to understand an oyster. Oysters have hard shells around a soft piece of meat- the shell is protecting the living oyster inside. By saying that the aunt is a little piece of meat on an open shell, the narrator is saying that the aunt's walls are broken down. The aunt has nothing portecting her- she's an open book. Hope this helps- ask if you want me to elaborate any more!

Dahasolnce [82]

The first playwright to use the plot of a man searching for the culprit of a terrible crime, only to discover he is searching for himself was Sophocles and the play was Oedipus. He does not know that the man he was trying to hunt, a man who had killed his father and married his own mother, was himself. He had been set aside from his parents at a very early age, so he knew none of them. That is why he could not have known that the man he had killed was his father and that the woman he married to was his mother.
