Give a character sketch of Miss Meadows from 'the singing lesson'.
Answers
Answer:
Miss Meadows is a thirty-year-old singing teacher at a girls’ school who is engaged to marry Basil. She arrives at school on the day of the story feeling despair because Basil has left a note breaking their engagement. Miss Meadows seems to be a sensitive person who can feel a great connection to both the weather and music, but she also responds to her unhappiness by becoming cruel to others, spreading her despair to the students. For instance, her sadness causes her to ignore her favorite student, Mary Beazley, and even dictates her choice of songs for her students to sing. As Miss Meadows becomes increasingly emotional about the end of her relationship with Basil, though, her memories of the actual relationship makes it clear that she is sadder about being single at thirty than she is about losing Basil himself. When Miss Meadows later gets a casual, chatty telegram from Basil saying that she should ignore the break-up letter and that he has bought a hat-stand for their future home, Miss Meadows is not angry at him for thinking so little of her emotions. Instead, she is overwhelmed with joy—a joy that, as with her sadness, seems more motivated by the prospect of avoiding becoming an unmarried spinster than it is about actually being married to Basil.
