She also knew that that money was for a hunting rifle for her husband yet she was willing to take the money just so she could buy a dress to go to the ball.

Magdalene’s comparison parallels Milkman’s actions to how Macon II simply ruins the live of his tenants carelessly. Finally, Corinthians states that she and her sister will no longer create the artificial roses and allow milkman to benefit from their labor. This shows how her disdain for her brother motivates Magdalene to stand up for herself by cutting off a toxic relationship with her brother.

I think this personally because she is selfish and is willing the tear apart a family just for her own happiness. I also think she causes most of the trouble.

She sets Mrs. Proctor up, and stabbed herself with a needle to make it look like Elizabeth was casting spells on her to get her in trouble when she is questioned about being a witch. She does this because her and John Proctor committed adultery and Abigail is still in love with John but he doesn’t feel the same way about her.

If her husband had told Mathilde to come clean right from the beginning and tell her friend, they’d be saving themselves a lot of trouble.

In the story “Thank You, Ma’am”, Mrs. Jones sacrifices her time and money and gives helpful information and can relate to Roger’s situation. They connect in this story through their
