He took the time to listen to what she was saying and what she was going through, which led him to a better understanding of her psyche and of what she was upset about. I also agree with his thoughts about her not being mad about just the church piano, but being mad about her whole life. “... having a drunkard for a daddy, getting jilted by Mr. McAllister, and being looked on in Cold Sassy as a Yankee outsider.” All of these things are very easy to get mad about and have an outburst over, but when you add in her own community shunning her and taking away something she loves, it all surfaces.

As Father Damien comes to the conclusion that Gregory must leave, she tells him, "I cannot leave who I am," to which Wekkle responds, "You are a woman" (p. 206).

The affair between the two characters creates a turning point for Agnes, as she must choose between the two identities that coincide within her. Moreover, if she were to run off with Father Wekkle, then Agnes could never fulfill her strangely liberating calling to be a priest. Agnes then discovers that the only possible way for her to maintain both identities is through her piano playing.

At the church, “[the girls] sang at the chapel annexed to the home every morning. [They] understood that this was the humans’ moon, the place for howling beyond purpose. Not for mating, not for hunting, not for fighting, not for anything but the sound itself.
This incident shows the reader that she wants to be taken seriously by her colleagues. It also displays that Hilly deeply treasures her reputation because of her reaction towards the situation. On the other hand, Aunt Alexandra has also shown the reader signs that she values her family’s reputation.

She shows how much of a negative impact it had made on Aunt Georgiana using imagery. She is always exhausted and has to look after her children. Cather admires the individuals who had enough strength to give up an old, comfortable, life for one that had uncertain outcomes. The use of symbolism is primal as well in A Wagner's Matinee. Aunt Georgiana symbolizes pioneer life, while Clark symbolizes city life.
To begin, Aunt Alexandra is one of the many voices of hypocrisy in the book. Aunt Alexandra is a symbol of old southern charm and what woman were supposed to act like in the 1930s. She lives by the fact that family is the most important thing in life. She judges

Her being stubborn and wanting the most she came up with the idea of getting another one and keeping this one as well, saying “I don't want to part with it. Suppose we put it there in the inner room, and then get another here in its place”. She wants her way and does not care at what cost.
In "A Respectable Woman," Kate Chopin digs in to examine the psychology of Mrs. Baroda, a rich woman with a loving husband who encounters temptation in the person of Gouvernail, a well-mannered, humble visitor to the Baroda’s plantation. Mrs. Baroda is tempted early in the story with the view of a change from a noiseless, more conventional life, Mrs. Baroda does not immediately identifies what she really wants and finally struggles with the self-inflicted restrictions of her personality as "a respectable woman." Nonetheless, just as the narrative suggests that she has found the power to overcome her emotions, Mrs. Baroda spoke to her husband and proposes a sweetly unclear statement that revives the question of her intention to act upon her emotions.
