I think he was hated by the girl. She lit the house on fire as it accomplished two things: 1)The father died 2) she could stay with her grandma's figure till the whole house turned to ashes.<br />Hope that cleared it.Shishouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345527261947172623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523151654016546378.post-2756899228852100442016-08-18T05:12:27.179-07:002016-08-18T05:12:27.179-07:00Haha!

T...The girls is one of the corpse, but grandma? No.<br />The grandma was already dead in the story. That's why her figure appeared in the flame. The other corpse is of her father. How she did it?

Her father was probably in the house at that time so he got converted into a roasted corpse. She did this 'cause she hated her father--He forced her to sell the matches on such a chilly night. Also, she could could spend the night with her grandma's figure that had appeared in the flame. But at the end, she too died of starvation and cold. Maybe, she froze to her death on that chilly night.<br />Hope it didn't disturb you.:(Shishouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345527261947172623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523151654016546378.post-21645550659167531302016-08-10T11:23:58.991-07:002016-08-10T11:23:58.991-07:00I always cry when reading this story :(
I think th...I always cry when reading this story :(<br />I think the two corpses was the girl and her father.<br />She implicitly said that she can not go home before she sold out her matches. That could mean, they (the girl and her father) desperately living in poverty. Based on that, if the girl do not bring any money home so they can not buy food and then die of starving :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362624576190776266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523151654016546378.post-28760062756638596242016-08-09T10:00:29.200-07:002016-08-09T10:00:29.200-07:00Her grandmother was already dead.
