Hide and Seek by Fiodor Sologub Everything in Lelechka’s nursery was bright, pretty, and cheerful. Lelechka’s sweet voice charmed her mother. Lelechka was a delightful child. There was no other such child, there never had been, and there never would be. Lelechka’s mother, Serafima Aleksandrovna, was sure of that. Lelechka’s eyes were dark and large, her cheeks were rosy, her lips were made for kisses and for laughter. But it was not these charms in Lelechka that gave her mother the keenest joy. Lelechka was her mother’s only child. That was why every movement of Lelechka’s bewitched her mother. It was great bliss to hold Lelechka on her knees and to fondle her; to feel the little girl in her arm — a thing as lively and as bright as a little bird. To tell the truth, Serafima Aleksandrovna felt happy only in the nursery. She felt cold with her husband. Perhaps it was because he himself loved the cold—he loved to drink cold water, and to breathe cold air. He was always fresh and cool, with a frigid smile, and wherever he passed cold currents seemed to move in the air. The Nesletyevs, Sergey Modestovich and Serafima Aleksandrovna, had married without love or calculation, because it was the accepted thing. He was a young man of thirty-five, she a young woman of twenty-five; both were of the same circle and well brought up; he was expected to take a wife, and the time had come for her to take a husband. It even seemed to Serafima Aleksandrovna that she was in love with her future husband, and this made her happy. He looked handsome and well-bred; his intelligent grey eyes always preserved a dignified expression; and he fulfilled his obligations of a fiancé with irreproachable gentleness. The bride was also good-looking; she was a tall, dark-eyed, dark-haired girl, somewhat timid but very tactful. He was not after her dowry, though it pleased him to know that she had something. He had connexions, and his wife came of good, influential people. This might, at the proper opportunity, prove useful. Always irreproachable and tactful, Nesletyev got on in his position not so fast that any one should envy him, nor yet so slow that he should envy any one else—everything came in the proper measure and at the proper time. from "Hide and Seek" by Fiodor Sologub Question Use the passage to answer the question.

Answer 1

If the narrative were told in the third-person limited from Serafima Aleksandrovna’s point of view, the focus would primarily be on her thoughts and feelings, providing a deep insight into her experiences, emotions, and perceptions. The narrative would use pronouns like "she" and "her," reflecting her inner world and her relationship with Lelechka and her husband. Readers would see her joy in Lelechka and her sense of coldness in her marriage, but they would be limited to her perspective and not gain direct access to the thoughts of other characters, such as her husband.

The narrative could explore her longing for warmth and connection that she feels absent with her husband, illustrating her emotional struggles and hopes. Additionally, it might convey her dreams and disappointments regarding her marriage, allowing the reader to sympathize with her while still maintaining a level of distance characteristic of third-person limited narration.

Overall, the story would center on how Serafima Aleksandrovna perceives the world around her, particularly her relationships, emotions, and the contrast between her blissful moments with Lelechka and her cold interactions with her husband.
