Open in App

Solution

She wanted to wear black dress for mourning because she thought her sister would not have any black dress ready a such a short notice. She also wanted to take her father's bureau and slippers for herself before her sister arrived. She is a greedy and selfish woman who does not care even for her father. She dominates her husband and makes him do what she wants. She has no ethical or moral values and steals her fathers things without any remorse.
