Question

Is it ‘selfishness’ and ‘callousness’ that makes the poet break her childhood promise to her grandmother of renovating the house? Why does she do nothing about rebuilding the house?

Answer 1

Poet could feel the presence of her grandmother, so she promises herself to save the royal inherited Heritage 300- year-old house for her grandmother. But in fact, he realized that it was impossible because the old house was collapsing, white ants were crawling, and rats were running without fear, and then he apologized because he could not renovate the house. Incompetence should not be confused with selfishness or coldness.
