Read the following excerpts in which Granny Weatherall, from Katherine Anne Porter's 'The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" and J. Alfred Prufrock, from T. S.
Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' assess their pasts:
What if he did run away and leave me to face the priest by
myself? I found another a whole world better. I wouldn't
have exchanged my husband for anybody except St.
Michael himself, and you may tell him that for me with a
thank you in the bargain.
- "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne
Porter
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be,
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
-"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," by T. S. Eliot.
Which best states the theme that is developed in both excerpts?
O A. Personal worth isn't derived from how others treat us
O B. Living in isolation can protect you from pain
O C. How we see others shapes who we become
OD. Choices have consequences
