Question

What inference can you make about what happened to Martha in her past? Find textual evidence to support your answer.

Answer 1

This question is about "Martha Martha"

Answer:

We can see that Martha went through a very difficult situation and left her traumatized.

Explanation:

By reading the story "Martha Martha" we understand that Martha is running away from something and that it is something related to her past that does not do her well. At the moment when she has a strong emotional imbalance when seeing the Amerelo apartment, we can conclude that she really had a problem in the past, whose memory makes her very uncomfortable. The narrative does not tell us what was the problem in Martha's past, but from her reaction, we can see that something serious has happened, that left her traumatized and that she needs to move.
