By being privy to Granny’s death, the reader can infer much about her life. The title describes the enormous hurt and humiliation that has secretly festered in her mind and heart for sixty years. Her great pride was devastated by her jilting; although she married a good man, raised a family, and managed a farm by herself after her husband’s death, she never totally got over the shock and disappointment of George’s rejection. The fact that she has saved George’s letters suggests how much he continued to mean to her in her heart and how the pain of her jilting remained with her for sixty years.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
A novel’s main character, Jefferson, refuses to speak to his sister because she hurt his feelings when she lied to him. What kind of conflict is driving Jefferson’s actions?
A. character vs. nature
B. character vs. society
C. character vs. self
D. character vs. character
Answer:
The kind of conflict driving Jefferson's actions is:
D. character vs. character
Explanation:
<u>A conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces.</u> In literature, there are some common types of conflict, such as character vs. self, character vs. society, or character vs. nature. Conflicts can also be external (caused by an outside force) or internal (taking place in the character's mind).
<u>According to the instructions in the question, the kind of conflict described is character vs. character, that is, Jefferson vs. his sister. The two characters are the opposing forces in this case. Their struggle was caused by the sister lying to Jefferson, which led him to refuse to speak to her.</u>
