After reading this, #4 for her will be easy.
Gaspard is a peasant whose child is run over by the carriage of the Marquis St. Evremonde, who uncaringly flips a coin out the window for the trouble. The carriage driver is more worried if the horse is hurt than the child. Gaspard then hides on the carriage as it returns to the castle, sneaks into the Marquis’ room, and stabs him.
Sad, considering I’m a senior English major and I’ve been taking college English classes for eight years.
Looks like I need a study guide, too.
Sorry.
…but good luck!
Good luck!
