Maria Concepcion

On reading "Maria Concepcion" a second time, I am struck by the concealment of Maria's emotions. Even at the begining of the story when her thoughts on Givens are revealed, these opinions are almost glossed over. The whole story seems to revolve around everyone else in the story even though she is such a central character and the title is her name. I will put together some questions that deal more closely with questions from my topic, however I did notice Porter's ommision of Maria's inner feelings beyond her breakdown.
