What is the ending of the story, "where is here" by Joyce Carol Oates?

I give Brainliest!

Out of anger at the end of the story, she reminds her husband the he was the one who invited to stranger into their home.  Arguably he was the one who forced both of them to finally acknowledge what truly did happen when they were all still alive in that house years ago, all of the anger, all of the abuse,  and perhaps even death.  And now because of the stranger’s visit, they are reminded of this hellish limbo they must endure for an eternity.  Joyce Carol Oates certainly seems to offer enough evidence in this Gothic tale for the reader to arrive at this conclusion.  She skillfully creates a bleak setting including actual and implied violent incidents and characters in psychological torment, not only the supernatural ghostly visitor but also the couple who are reminded of who they truly were and what they are now.  Oates says that “Horror is a fact of life” only one of many facets of life.  With horror, Oates seems to be addressing a larger social issue in this story, which can serve as an indictment of violent relationships and having to live with the consequences of your actions, just as these people have been relegated to their own hell for an eternity to reflect on their actions.

Hope this helps you. Do mark me as brainliest.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
