The story is a flashback to the past for the narrator. Explain why the author may have chosen to present the story in this manner. What is the significance of the title?
The fact that the audience knows how Elizabeth's life ends up gives the audience a chance to see what events could lead up to a little girl eventually ending up as a single woman who is very alone. Women back then are supposed to get married and have children, so this story gives insight into what events in a woman's life might cause her to never get married. Also, the audience never can have a sense of hope for Elizabeth since they know from the beginning that she ends up as a Spinster and has no hopes of a promising future before her.
