There are a few examples of an epiphany in the story. One of them is near the beginning of the story, when Bernice suddenly realizes how other people see her.

Another example is later in the story when Bernice learns how Marjorie STILL sees her, despite her apparent friendship and help over time. That is when Bernice finally gets the backbone (which ironically, Marjorie has in part taught her) to blow Marjorie off and go home early, and then gets back at her by cutting off her hair.

Not that I think revenge is a good idea, but it definitely in the story marks a change and an awakening in Bernice. She starts out the story without a lot of self-knowledge or understanding of the world outside her hometown, and although to the modern world her circle hasn't expanded a lot, at the end of the story she understands, and she makes a big decision to stand up for herself.
