A
The story’s relationships echo the Persephone–Hades–Demeter pattern: a young woman drawn into another world/relationship and a grieving mother left behind. Options B and C are inaccurate—Penelope/the man aren’t presented as star‑crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet, and Hester Prynne doesn’t have a mother–daughter dynamic in The Scarlet Letter—so A is the best match.
