The Horse Dealer's Daughter. World Lit

One of the examples I found in The Horse Dealer's Daughter that exemplifies one of the numbers in "Professor" is water. In the The Horse Dealer's Daughter Mable is the daughter of the person who dies. She and her brothers are left with tons of debt. The brothers ditch her and leave her with all the dept. Mable tries to kill her self by drowning. Drowning was a solution to her problems but also caused a Union between her and the doctor who ended up saving her. In conclusion water can mean lots of things, some good some bad.
