What happens to May after she goes to the Wailing Wall for the last time?

• A. She drowns herself.
• B. She runs away and hides.
• C. She dies of illness.
• D. She prays and goes home.

Answer: (A)

May’s visits to the Wailing Wall show how deeply she carries grief and feels the pain of loss, especially for her mother. The wall is a private outlet where she lets go of her sorrow and tries to shield others from it. When she goes there for the last time, the weight of that sorrow becomes overwhelming, and she drowns herself in the river. This moment highlights how intensely May is suffering and how fragile someone can be beneath a gentle surface. It also drives home themes of hidden pain, the impact of loss, and the way a community is forced to reckon with a tragedy that a person keeps private.
