What does the narrator of the story feel toward Dee? What seems to beDee’s present attitude toward her mother and sister?
What will be an ideal response?
- That the mother loves Dee is clear. Although she’s aware of the unattractive elements in Dee’s nature, her dream of Dee showing her appreciation for her mother on a television show reveals wistfulness: the older woman longs for Dee to return her love. Instead, Dee is condescending to her younger sister and unappreciative of her mother. “You ought to try to make something of yourself, too, Maggie,” she says as she departs, as if she herself were a superior being, to be emulated (par. 81). Dee, in spite of her education, has never learned to imagine how she appears to others.
