What is the symbolic meaning of empathy in the scene where Kezia sleeps close to her father's chest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Moving from outer fear to inner safety and trust

The governing literary concept is symbolism, in which a physical action represents an inner emotional change. Kezia once sees her father as a frightening authority figure and remains emotionally distant from him. When she sleeps close to his chest after the nightmare, the physical closeness represents a new sense of warmth, protection and trust. She is not merely being put to sleep; she is beginning to recognise her father as a tired but loving human being. Therefore, option A is correct. The scene does not symbolise separation, freedom from discipline or defeat of the grandmother, because family connection and emotional reconciliation are strengthened instead.
