Mary Esther Bell Craig Of Suitland

Her parent’s have managed to never show her any affection, and leave her as sort of an empty shell who is left to create her own structure in the world. This is evident in the way Mary Katherine vocalizes her untrue perspective of a situation that involves herself in relation to her family. In this skewed perspective she states “Mary Katherine, we love you. You must never be punished. Lucy, you are to see to it that our most loved daughter Mary Katherine is never punished” ( Jackson 95). This desire to be fawned over by her parents shows that there was a true lack of affection in this family which can be quite draining on a young impressionable child. This lack of affection and care ends up being so life draining that she can only seem to keep order in her life by creating a structure completely her own as opposed to one normally placed on children by their

It becomes known in the start of the short story that Mary has to sit next to "George Dickie" who is known for pinching people, this unfortunately adds to her run down appearance, as it leaves "marks on her arms" to which people judge her on, however although people judge Mary on her appearance, nobody intervenes to help her and they just accept the horrible way they treat her because of where's she comes from. This adds to tough decisions having to be made by the narrator as again she doesn't want to be associated with someone who has people constantly looking and judging them. This is a decision that is hard for the narrator as she knows being friends with Mary could have tough consequences on her own life. People would automatically assume that they must have the same way of life if the two of them are seen hanging out together around town and in the neighbourhood. Being a teenager is hard enough sometimes and the idea that Janice Galloway portrays in this short story, that sometimes you have to listen to yourself rather than other people, really comes across in the way that the narrators character handles the decisions she is faced

The epitome of Mary is as stated, “And now, good subjects, pluck up your hearts, and like true men stand fast against these rebels, both our enemies and yours, and fear them not; for I assure you, I fear them nothing at all” (“Women in Power”, 668). Mary showed no fear and upheld a very manly position in this statement to keep the people strong.

When she enters the bedroom, her voice changes from present to past tense and she starts to reminisce and begins to talk about her mother and aunts. She seems happy to remember her mother’s room and introduces her aunts to the audiences. Mary delivers her dialogue saying that the dressing table and the small elephant statue figures are all same. When Mary gently touches her mother’s photo, she delivers a sad tone. Her performance conveys to the audiences that she misses her mother. The tone of her voice represents that she is a gentle, innocent and a loving child. Her verbal and non-verbal interactions conveyed the viewers with a message that she is an orphan.

Mary I would say had a difficult childhood. She was born July 19th 1817 Mount Vernon, Ohio. Her Dad was a farmer, but her Mom died when Mary was 17 months old!
