Read the following excerpt from Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall":

Yes, she had changed her mind after sixty years and she would like to see George. I want you to find George. Find him and be sure to tell him I forgot him. I want him to know I had my husband just the same and my children and my house like any other woman. A good house too and a good husband that I loved and fine children out of him. Better than I had hoped for even. Tell him I was given back everything he took away and more.

A. One person's trash is another's treasure; seeking revenge leads to disaster

    B. The past influences the present what has been lost can be regained

    In this excerpt we can see that because of the past (George and her ending), she was able to find a new man. And, with this new man, she was able to recover everything she lost, yet it was better in some instances such as her children. None of this would have been possible had she and George remained together.
