The narrator understands Dee more than Dee realizes.

Her internal voice shows clear insight into Dee’s motives and affect — she sees Dee’s showy new persona as somewhat performative and self-centered, recognizes the insecurity and desire for recognition beneath it, and understands why Dee values heritage differently than Mama and Maggie.
