Uddrag
We are seeing this story from Anabel’s point of view, she is a first-person narrator of this story and she is also the main character. Anabel is a black woman working as a housemaid in a white household.
This narrator is reliable because it’s told by one that experienced how it was like to be in a white household in the 60s
but because it’s a first-person narrator then it’s only told from her point of view, so we have to have an opened mind because it’s only seen from once perspective and not an all-knowing narrator.
But then again if this story was seen from Miss Leefolts point of view then we won’t have the same story, because we know at that time it was very ordinary for a white household to have African American women as housemaids
and if the lady of the house wasn’t pleased with the housemaid’s work or thought that the housemaid had done something wrong even if she hadn’t.
If that was the case the lady of the house might take a piece out of the housemaid’s salary, then the housemaid average salary wasn’t very high.
