1st commentary. Geneva is not happy with her marriage at all, her husband is not around and she feels that what they once had has vanished. Her life is caving in around and she sees that saranell is no longer cared for as a child should be cared for. 2nd commentary. from Geneva’s perspective, she doesn't see saranell as her own flesh and blood, to Geneva, saranell is just another child that is greedy and annoying.
