Textuality » 3A Interacting
In the entire poem there are links that connect the octaves.
The function of the first octave is to introduce the situation to the reader.
From the first question in the second stanza you can understand that the girl has left home.
The writer continues to describe the relationship between the mother/father-girl and that the daughter wanted to be independent, but it's clear that something happened and this relationship seems to have ended.
The function is to make the present relationship clearer.
In the third stanza the writer expresses her/his doubts again and at the same time she/he tries to advance some hypothesis about the daughter's behaviour
The function is to explain some possible reasons for the daughter's behaviour
The last stanza adds information about what has happened: the girl considers what happened a mother/father's fault, so the close relationship has died.
The function of this octave is to give a last reflection to conclude all the poem.
