the way she behaved was decent enough, she felt comfortable with it, and failed to see the need for changing it to fit men’s standards of being a “normal girl”, although it was clearly not her choice to make. The same happened to Ms. Maudie with the man who cursed her and her beloved flowers to hell just because from his point of view, a widow like her should not be having any sort of recreation.
