Question

What do Lines 32-39 of "The Death of the Hired Man" say about Mary's character? the A. she is compassionate B. she is volatile C. she is argumentative​

Answer 1

Answer: A. she is compassionate

Explanation: The poem talks about an ill man that goes back to a farm he used to work at. When he arrives, he's welcomed by Mary, her former master, and wants to be forgiven by her husband as well for events that happened in the past. However; Warren, the husband, refuses to see him and his wife makes his best to convince him. When she comes back to where the poor man was, she finds that he has passed next to the barn door. Lines 32-39 portray how compassionate Mary is by looking at the "frightening and miserable sight" as she said.
