3. Look at the family portrait of Leone, Ofelia, and Sveva? What does Ofelia’s body language tell us about her feelings for Sveva?
   – Ofelia is clinging to Sveva. She seems to care deeply for her child. Even then she seems afraid of being alone.

4. Why do you think Ofelia forbid Sveva to leave the house after her father died?
   – Ofelia was afraid of being alone so she didn’t want Sveva to leave.
   – She must have thought that if Sveva did not mingle with the outside world, she would not want to have an independent life (get married and have a family like most other young women or have a career).

5. Why do you think Ofelia made out her will as she did?
   – Perhaps she was a very religious person, or perhaps her religion helped her during her difficult life, or perhaps she was trying to atone for her sins.
