The word predator was said to keep "bobbing insistently about" in the woman's mind. Do you think the woman in the story should be considered the predator or the prey? In other words, do you think the bank clerk has been taken over by some external force (making her the prey) or is she returning to her true self (as the predator/fox)? How can telling details lead you to an answer? What does the textual evidence most strongly suggest?​
