The Dragon by Cynthia Forder Ende

Hallo, ich muss eine Characterization zu Kay schreiben und am Ende der Geschichte sagt sie zu ihrer Mutter "He...he had some poetry to write.". Sagt das etwas über Kay aus? Vielleicht über die Gefühle Bob gegenüber oder vielleicht dass sie verschlossen ist? Was meint ihr Leute die die Kurzgeschichte kennen? :D

Answer 1

[Bswss]

Eine EINDEUTIG, einzig richtige Interpretation gibt es nicht. Vielleicht so:

Kay seems to play "hard to get", behaves arrogantly, but it seems that secretely she likes Bob ( > tears, stumbled) although she says the opposite.

"He had some poetry to write" may mean that she no longer thinks that Bob is stupid, but also indirectly that she still feels better educated than her friend.

The fire from the refineries may stand symbolically for her secret feelings of love for Bob - but Bob leaves her, and the fire (her secret love) is "washed away" by her tears.
