The Bell Jar: Chapter 16

Journal Entry

Chapter 16
Page 226 Paragraph 4-6
Quote:
"That afternoon my mother had brought me the roses. 'Save them for my funeral,' I'd said. My mother's face puckered, and she looked ready to cry."

Esther's mother wants her to get better. Either her mother wants her to get better because she cares about Esther, she doesn't like spending this kind of money on Esther, or she doesn't think that this looks very good in the social circle. I think that Esthers mother does care about her, but her mother wants to get Esther ready for the real world and it's hardships, so she just isn't able to show her love very well.
