The reader is the protagonist

This section of this passage sets how the life of the main character changed! And how her ex husband  is a killer. The reader can determine how the killer is a hero or not. Because she sets up the events and  she gives vivid details on what exactly happen. The fear that she tried running away before the divorce happened. She is basically showing how her life shifts from a past tense view and what she have went through. Talking about rape allows the reader to feel empathy with each character knowing how intense this problem is. It makes you want to read more and more to know how she is doing! The author uses what she went through as a baseline on how her life and the actions that she will take will be affected based on what she went through.
Like for example, if she haven’t heard that her husband was a murderer she would of just stick with the job even after reading all those books. She won’t have the fear like she did! And she would read them as if it’s normal books stack there for entertainment.
