The emotional function of the frightening dream is not only to show fear but what else?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To bring suppressed fear forward and create a situation for an affectionate response

The governing concept is the turning point created by an emotional crisis. Kezia’s frightening dream brings her private anxiety into the open and makes her seek immediate safety. This creates the situation in which her father can respond not as a distant disciplinarian but as a caring protector. His comfort gives her direct evidence that contradicts the harsh image formed in her mind. Option D is correct because the dream both externalises suppressed fear and prepares the emotional revelation of paternal affection. It does not prove Macdonald’s superiority, expose a mistake by Grandmother, or merely increase the symbolic importance of the pin cushion. The nightmare functions structurally as a bridge from fear to understanding.
