Exam Answer Key

Multiple Choice

Long Answer

1. Eleanor believes that the little girl should demand what she wants, and that if she does not, she will be coerced into losing her identity and having nothing of her own. This is likely due to Eleanor’s past experience of subservience and losing her own identity to caring for her mother for many years. (Chapter 1, Part 4)

2. The others are disturbed and angered by her comment. They know that the house is evil and wants to harm them.
