1.Unstable situation
The grandmother, plays a major role in the story by introducing the audience to a very unlikeable person, which in turns, gives a distinctive negative attitude towards her that grows throughout the story. She isn’t very well liked by the family of her son, Baily. Baily’s family tries to ignore the grandmother because she often is a self-interested and conning women.
