  • Q4
    Which quotation best supports the theme of gaining one’s freedom from a life of oppression?
    A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.
    She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.
    What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!
    She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead.
