Answer the Following Questions What was the widow’s husband’s name? In which town did the widow and her son live? What was the murderer’s name? Where did he live? How long did the widow train the dog? Who wrote this story?

Questions… 7. What can the rocks in the ocean be compared to? 8. Discuss the irony of the Widow’s actions. 9. In 5-8 lines, explain the way the Widow trains the dog for her intended action. 10. How does the Widow get across to Sardinia? 11. Why, do you think, the Widow slept well that night? Would you be able to, after committing the crime?

Answers 1) Paolo 2) Bonifacio 3) Nicholas Ravolati 4) Longosardo, Sardinia 5) 3 months 6) Guy de Maupassant

Answers 7) They are compared to torn sheets of linen floating on the surface of the waves. 8) It is ironic that she is planning to go murder someone and yet she goes to church to pray about it and seek God’s help

9) –tied the dog up -starved it for days -made a dummy out of straw -tied meat (black pudding) around its neck -then she would release it to attack the dummy

10) She struck a bargain with a Sardinian fisherman to take her over in his little boat. 11) She slept well because she finally got revenge for her son’s murder. I would not be able to have peace as there would be an overwhelming guilt.
