I'm kind of confused as to what is being asked.... but this is my best answer.
SOCIAL Prejudice, (maybe legal if we talk about the consequence to his actions)
why it cant be the others--->
racial ---- they say nothing about race here.
(MAYBE) legal----- from the passage, we can say that the guy is richhhhh, and he might be able to wave off the consequences of his murder. but then again you only analyze this passage so, probably not
environmental---- they don't mention the environment....
THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE SOCIAL- their social standings in this situation
-diamond ring (if thats what they mean by diamond ring finger, it could mean something else as well) only the rich can afford, a cane too
- hotel society gathering... (rich)
-poor Hattie Carroll could be literal as well.
<span>"Don’t keep seeing him if you don’t like him, because nothing would be worse than a loveless marriage.
Marrying someone you don’t really like will make you more committed to marriage.
It’s better to marry him than to endure dating him without really liking him.
It’s better to commit to marriage with a man you can endure than with one you really like. "</span>
