Question

What is the moral of the story, A Cup of Tea?

Answer 1

Answer:

In A Cup of Tea by Katherine Mansfield we have the theme of jealousy, insecurity, materialism and class. ... It would have been uncommon (at the time the story was written) for those considered to be of a lower class (Miss Smith) to engage with those considered to be upper class (Rosemary).

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Through the image of Rosemary, this narrative depicts the upper class's disparate treatment of the lower class.
• Her demeanor and actions paint a vivid picture of the mentality of discriminating elites.
• Another aspect in the novel is the artificiality of trendy people's behavior, such as Rosemary Fell's.
• Her sympathy for Miss Smith, the destitute child, is not based on her true compassion
