Synopsis
Controlled and humiliated by her mother, the narrator has learned to accept her father’s helpless apologies. A vivid premonition of dying while her mother watches changes that understanding of home.
Ordinary arguments and apparent tenderness now carry a more threatening meaning. She resolves to escape rather than remain a victim, with the further aim of taking her father out of the household too.
