Question

Which conversation between the sisters helps to support mansfield's feminist message?(the daughters of the late colonel)

A) the conversation with the nurse just before their father died

B) the conversation with the maid at the beginning of the story

C) the conversation at the end when they interrupt each others' thoughts

D) the conversation about the organ-grinder

Answer 1

C) the conversation at the end when they interrupt each others' thoughts

Step-by-step explanation:

During the conversation at the end of the story, Constantia wanted to tell her sister, Josephine something but at that same time, Josephine interrupted. Immediately, they paused in order to give each other equal right and opportunity to talk first.

Constantia wanted Josephine to speak first while Josephine wanted Constantia to speak first. At the end, they all forgot what they actually wanted to say.

Mansfield's feminist message in this section is portraying the need for equal rights even in speech.

"The Daughters Of The Late Colonel" is a short story written by Katherine Mansfield. The story focuses on the two daughters of the late colonel, Constantia and Josephine who lost their father and had to proceed in taking care of his burial and what he left behind.
