Clark changed from a gangly, uncomfortable child to A. a happy, successful adult. B. a sad, brooding adult. C. a shy, awkward adult. D. a wealthy, powerful adult.
The correct answer is A. The narrator of Willia Cather's short story "A Wagner Matinee", Clark, is everything that his Aunt Georgiana isn't. More precisely, he is everything that she renounced when she married and moved from Boston to Nebraska. This difference in their social stature and ways of living underlines the tragedy of giving up one's artistic ideals because of marriage and family.
