do u think the story an angel in disguise reflects the socio- economic problems of 19th century american society? how ?

Answer 1

Yes, the story "An Angel In Disguise" reflects the socio-economic problems of the 19th century American Society.  

Explanation:

• The author stresses the themes of kindness and compassion. For this, he uses the main character Maggi who appears to be a blessing for the Thompson family. Ever since her arrival in the family, Mr's Thompson had changed. She became nice and loving.  

• At the end of the story, Thompson's decided to keep Maggi with them. Using this storyline, the author describes how material things do not bring happiness and at the end of the day for the survival of humanity, we need compassion and selflessness. American society has become selfish and for one to prosper we need to adopt good values. This not only makes a person feel better but also makes society as a whole peaceful.
