Respuesta :

Answer:

She decided not to buy the "tarnished old silver container with a long spout", which seems to suggest that she is a changed person after her experience with Sir Galaad.

Explanation:

Neil Gaiman's short story "Chivalry" revolves around the Holy Grail and the "quest" that sent Sir Galaad to retrieve it. The short story delves into the themes of chivalry, ritual, deities, and folktale.

Mrs. Whitaker had acquired the chalice at an old items shop called "Oxfam Shop". And once she put the Holy Grail on the mantlepiece, Sir Galaad arrives to retrieve it. After numerous attempts to make her agree with an exchange, she relented and gave the Holy Grail to Sir Galaad.

At the end of the story, we see Mrs. Whitaker once again in the shop, about to buy a Mills and Boons novel and a "tarnished old silver container with a long spout" which, on second thought, decided not to. And in her opinion, "it wasn't as if she had anywhere to put it", which is suggestive of her changed behavior.  

Mrs. Whitaker's behavior at the end of the story suggests that she has been changed by her experience with Galaad and the Holy Grail:

  • She chose not to buy a "discolored old silver container with a long spout". This suggests that she is a strange person after her experience with Sir Galahad.  
  • Mrs. Whitaker bought a goblet from a junk shop called the Oxfam Shop. And as soon as she puts the Holy Grail on the mantelpiece, Sir Galahad comes to pick it up. After many attempts to get her to agree to her exchange, she forgave and gave Sir Galahad her Holy Grail.
  • At the end of the  story, we see Mrs. Whitaker  again in the store buying a Mills & Boon novel and a "discolored old silver container with a long spout." And, in her opinion, "it didn't seem like she could put it everywhere," which suggests a change in her behavior.
