It took a while for me to gather enough information on this novel in general. But by the way its looking it seems as if the person that was going through this treatment called "resting cure" before any actually new (working/curing) treatments,looks as if she mainly talking about how the it didn't work-and caused her more pain. Resting cure is basically just resting to avoid stimulating activity of the mental illness called "depression" most ppl back then thought it was the only cure. With this being said I think she wrote it in first person to truly talk about how it (resting cure) harmed her all through her point of view. With this being said u can cross off answer option A and B bc that has almost nothing to do with the point the novel is truly trying to get across. This leaves answer option C and D which do u think is correct and why?
