Answer:

The writer refers to the main character as miss strangeworth rather than adela, her first name. This choice contributes to the story's symbolism.

This question is about "The Possibility of Evil" written by ShirLey Jackson and has symbolism as one of the strongest elements. There are several symbolisms in this story, one of the most prominent being the name of Miss Strangeworth. Although we know her first name, the text only uses the surname to reinforce the idea that although she was highly respected in the neighborhood, she maintained strange acts and habits towards her neighbors.
