Dora Williams said, “ When Reuben Pantier ran away and threw me I went to Springfield” ( Master 71), which demonstrates that Dora did not disappear because of her. Its is easy why Mrs.Williams fells fells depressed ; not not only are the women talking about her behind her back, but the are saying hurtful lies regarding her daughter that makes her look bad. However anxiety is the hardest of all because of how it can lead to Mrs.Williams being paranoid. Always having the mind set of someone talking about you behind your back can be challenging.

The heavy amount of unhappyness of loosing some one you love and hear from others lies.With everyone around her having a connection towards each other and the negativity is like a ship in crashing waves. It is a scary place to live.
