On page 212 the first half of the page is the dialogue between Esther and Doctor Nolan. To summarize the conversation its about when Esther is going in for her shock treatment and Esther is caught off guard with Doctor Nolan and begins yelling at her saying “You said you would tell me!” To which Doctor Nolan responds explaining that she came to be with her and make sure everything is done correctly this time around.
My group and I took the conversation to mean that Esther is closer to Doctor Nolan then her own mother in a sense that she trusts her more. Esther is not afraid to lash out towards Doctor Nolan. We also agreed that Doctor Nolan sort of took Esther under her wing. We literally see this happen after Doctor Nolan wipes Esther’s face with her handkerchief and hooks her arm around her and escorts her to the room.
