why did the meeting with Korean girl give him the purpose to live in "Mrs Oakentubb"?
Answers
Answer:
The meeting with the young Korean girl gave the man a reason and meaning to live, at a time when he was fed up with life, in the story Twenty minutes with Mrs. Oaken Tubb.
The man met the Korean girl when he was wounded in 1953. He was wounded and fainted and wanted to die.
When he regained consciousness, he saw a young girl bending over him and smiling. The young girl reminded him of his daughter who died young along with his wife in an accident.
The memory of his daughter made him want to live at least so he could kill their murderer and avenge their death. This was the new meaning he found for his life.
