    People hated the woman; still, they turned upon her death. Give reason.
    Ans : It is truly said that why we do not rejoice at our birth and lament on death because we are the person concerned. Howsoever one may be hostile towards someone but death changes and touches the inner self of the person. The same thing happened here; the dead woman was despised, mocked and condemned by almost every member of the village. But when she died, everybody gathered around her house. They were more worried about her wretched children more than herself and so in spite of pitying her, they were angry with her.
