In the excerpt, the bank clerk is in a business firm with twain her possessions, and the daughter of the woman who took each(prenominal) these possessions has no idea what is going on. Long ago, the narrator’s mother had given all her worldly possessions to a un akin lady, who always took invariablyything away with a think of greed.The narrator has come to the house with all the possessions, and it all at once hits her that all her memories be just through the doorway. When she enters, she forgathers all of her possessions, â€Å"in a room which I both knew and didn’t endure”. This one simple declension describes how she feels, how though all her memories are in the room, they are not place in the right spot, as if the chronological placement was off , and all her memories are tangled up. I found myself among things I had wanted to see again but which oppressed me in the strange surroundings” describes her confusion, because though everything give eared normal, (similar to the way she acts as if postcode is happening) it’s the inside story of every intention that is scaring her; how it has her memories imprinted in it, and yet, they are not there anymore, because this is not her house, and she does not own any of this anymore.I scarcely dared to look around me anymore” symbolizes her fright of looking at everything she had and lost, and instantly they do not belong to her, though she has a slight longing for them in put to imbibeher to have a sense of normality. â€Å"Somewhere on the edge there should be a trim down location in which had neer been repaired” this line, when read closely, depicts the hole as a sort of ledge, where her mind is clinging onto, so she may find some familiar contact in all this strangeness.

But she is also the opposite of her mother; man her mother stole all the possessions without a worry or a care, she is sweeter, gentler. The daughter is innocent and unwitting of what happened, while the mother is guilty and knows exactly wherefore the narrator is here. When prompted, she (the daughter) talks of how everything in the room is goose egg important, how they are all antiques and nothing special.But the narrator hence offers a retort of passion and sadness â€Å"you get used to all these beautiful things at home, you hardly look at them anymore. You only nothice when something is not there, b ecause it has to be repaired, or for example, because you’ve lent it to someone”. This small lecturing shows how she never thought of these possessions and memories as important, but now that they are not with her anymore, now that she knows she cannot take them all back, she feels they describe her life. But it is too late.Near the end of the excerpt, the narrator mentions how, when she was younger, she thought her cutlery was made from silver, but never really thought of it. The daughter laughs, but when she goes to assure her own cutlery, the narrator rushes out, to â€Å"forget the address” and everything she ever remembered. This is because she wants to leave every memory she had behind, to start anew. It is her emergent realization that she does not possess these memories anymore that causes her to qualify and force herself to forget everything from the past.\r\n'
