Conclusion
Answers
Mrs Pearson is taken for granted in her family and the members take advantage of her docile nature. She is treated like a domestic servant rather than a family member. Upset about this, she takes the assistance of her older neighbor, Mrs Fitzgerald who is a fortune teller and also a bold person. She suggests changing bodies with Mrs Pearson. Although reluctant, Mrs Pearson gives in. When she gets back home, she is a bold person and gets her way with her family. They are quite surprised at this change in her. However, she gets them to do what she wanted and she could spend the evening with her family like how she wanted.
Mrs Fitzgerald advises Mrs Pearson to become the mistress of her house. She also tells Mrs Pearson not to allow others to dominate her. This will make the family members give her the respect she deserves.
