=item a)

Who is the narrator of this short story?

=item b)

What does the narrator choose to tell about the girl in order to influence the
reader and to justify the title of the story?

=back

I think, there're two possibilities. The narrator could be one of her children,
presuming that, one day, she told her children the true story of her life. Or,
maybe, she died and their children read her diary. The other possibility which
comes to my mind is the theory, that she herself is the narrator of the text.
Only she is able to know so much about her inner feelings and thougts. You can
see that at many different places in the text.

The narrator describes the girl's inner feelings in order to influence the
reader. On a certain way, you feel compassionate to that girl. Additionally,
the title "Greyhound Tragedy" implies certain feelings of the girl. You know,
and you get influenced to know, that her life is "bad". This is clear from
other excerpts of the text, too.
