rests. When Dee says that she wants to take the quilts, Maggie doesn’t say “no”. She lives at home and is protected by Mama, remaining virtually untouched by the outside world. She suffers from shyness and lack of education. She is also a tragic character. As a girl, she has ugly scars in her body and doesn’t get a good education, because of this, Dee even doesn’t think Maggie should have the right to inherit the heirloom. In the future, if the Mama paРsses away, it is a question whether Maggie could manage her life essfully or not. In contrast, Maggie is less sophisticated than her sister and petent than her mother. In conclusion, Maggie standing for one kind of people in that society who still adhere to the past practices and they will inherit the tradition from generation to generation.
