How does Mrs. Stevenson perceive herself? sorry wrong number

Mrs. Stevenson is a lady who is disabled in her bed and only has the telephone within her reach. She is totally flustered and nervous and realizes that she could be the person who is gonna be killed.

Explanation:

 This question refers to the work Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher.

This lady had a lot of money and jewelry, and could not get out of bed as she was invalid.

She finds herself in front of a line crossing that allows her to listen to a conversation in which two individuals speak of the imminent murder of a woman who is gradually acquiring her characteristics, in her deranged mind and in reality.

 She becomes more and more crazy and desperate from the moment everyone leaves her aside: it is confirmed that the police do not give credit to her request for help, the nurses are absent, the husband is unreachable, etc.

All this happens until she realizes that it is she herself who will be killed.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

answer: confusion.

the short story "lather and nothing else" by hernando tellez describes the inner struggles of a barber. he is a revolutionary, and while he is at his shop, he sees an important leader of the government come in. the barber has the choice of just shaving him, or killing him, and throughout the story, he struggles with having to choose one or the other one.

through this monologue, the mood that is created is one of confusion. the barber cannot bring himself to make a decision, as he is deeply conflicted between his loyalty to the revolution and his becoming a murderer. he is also unsure as to whether the assassination will in fact make any difference to the political situation.
