Ihad indeed lost my mind, for all the smoldering emotions of that summer swelled in me and burst—the great need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed by my father’s tears. and these feelings combined in one great impulse toward destruction. what does the passage reveal about the narrator’s feelings about her father? the narrator is afraid for her father’s emotional stability. the narrator realizes that her father is not the invincible hero she thought he was. the narrator is afraid her actions have permanently damaged her relationship with her father. the narrator realizes she is ashamed of her father’s cowardice.

The right answer is the 1) The narrator is afraid for her father’s emotional stability.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that since the narrator is specifically saying that her father's tears unleashed her fear, it is possible to infer that she was afraid of her father's emotional stability, since crying ofter disturbs someone's emotional stability. The passage does not provide enough information to infer that she thought that her father was an invencible hero, or that she is afraid her actions have damaged their relationship. Furthermore, it is not possible to know if she is ashamed of her father, or if she judges her father's tears to be a reflection of his cowardice.
