He truly did want to help out the poor, ignorant, and suffering girl from the sickness she was hiding. the doctor,s determination to find out the problem, resulted him to use some force. In the end, the doctor succeeded and open the little brat `s mouth with much struggle, emotional and physical one. It turned out she had the disease.

. The style :. The writer used the metaphorical language : He describe her attack toward him like a cat movement which try to scratch you when you annoy her.. He used a language that is rich of 1. Deixis of time : NOW, SOON, THREE DAYS AGO, AT FIRST …. etc, 2. Deixis of place : IN THE BACK, NEAR, KITCHEN, ON YOUR LAP …. etc, 3. Deixis of environment : Mr., Mrs., Husband, Dr., Father, Mother.. The writer used narration and this implies the severity of a situation when social roles and personal impulses intertwine.. There is also the irony that the parents keep telling Mathilda what a nice man the doctor is.. The author uses the persona of the doctor to reveal a dilemma when a serious issue is confronted
