PART 1: The word predator was said to keep “bobbing insistently about” in the woman’s mind. Do you think the woman in the story should be considered the predator or the prey? In other words do you think the bank clerk has been taken over by some external force (making her prey) or is she returning to her true self (as the predator/ fox)? (the book is "The Red Fox Fur Coat")
PART 2: How can telling details lead you to an answer? What does the textual evidence most strongly suggest?
