Name the two characters in this story whom Eveline liked and loved, and two she did not. What were the reasons for her feelings towards them?
Solution and Explanation
The two characters Eveline liked and loved were her mother and Frank the most. Eveline's mother bore the torture inflicted upon her by her husband and took care of the complete family by providing all the comforts to her children. Frank was her very kind, manly, open-hearted lover, and he admired her very much. He was the only hope for her future, who would get her out of the problems she faced. She hated her father and Miss Gavan as they both used to criticise her and they had always been harsh towards her. Her father used to drink and humiliate her, whereas Miss Gavan always passed comments on her.
