Why is Maddie embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda? Is she also like Wanda, or is she different?
Maddie was embarrassed by the questions Peggy asked Wanda because she was poor herself and empathized with Wanda’s mental condition. She also wore somebody else’s clothes that were handed down to her. She came from a poor family too and understood Wanda’s state of mind. She could feel for Wanda but was not sorry for Wanda for the hundred dresses claimed by her. Meanwhile, she also wished Peggy would stop teasing Wanda for her looks and name.
Explanation:
Maddie is embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda because she is also poor and understands what Wanda must be going through. She also wears dresses handed down by a rich family. Though she is an American, she can relate to Wanda in some ways and doesn't want anyone to tease Wanda because of her dress or her name. Moreover, she is worried that Peggy would start making fun of her clothes as well because she did not come from a rich family like Peggy.
