What sort of person is Eveline's mother? Does Eveline identify with her mother in any way?

In s short
story, , the character of Evelines mother doesnt appear directly, but only in the memory of
her 19-year-old daughter. Eveline is in the midst of deciding whether she should escape her
difficult home life to run off with a sailor, or if she should stay at home and care for her
abusive father now that her mother has passed away. From her daughters recollections, Evelines
mother seems to have been rather timid and passive, and she appears to have put her duties as a
housewife and mother above any personal wishes.

As Eveline makes her
decision whether to stay or go, she mused the pitiful vision of her mother's life... Eveline
knows what kind of difficult, unfulfilled life lies ahead of her...
