Mrs. Wright’s broken jars of preserves symbolize her broken household. What thematic knowledge is necessary to make this connection?an understanding that Mrs. Wright has become unstablean understanding that Mrs. Wright is considered responsible for the home an understanding that the jars were a prized possession

The connection depends on knowing that Mrs. Wright is considered responsible for the home. Because the preserves are part of her household work, their broken condition can represent disorder or damage in the household itself. Knowing only that she is unstable or that the jars are prized does not explain why they symbolize the household.
