Do you think that the death of June and the death of Lilly’s mother, creates a parallel between Lilly and May??

I feel that May and Lilly are comparable whether it’s because of the loss of a loved one or just because they contrast so nicely. Lilly tends to show the strength of women and people in general. Through her loss Lilly finds strength and hope, she succeeds where others would fail do to her determination and will. However May symbolizes human frailty, and weakness. She had taken on all the problems of the world and gave up on doing her part to fix it. I feel she losses her place in the world when June died and never really finds it again. May allows her grief to become weakness not strength. So the two are similar in their loss but not in the way they handle things.
