In "A Lesson Before Dying," the women wanted Grant to help Jefferson find strength and dignity before his execution. They believed Grant, as a teacher, could make a positive impact on Jefferson and help him grow as a person during his final days. Ultimately, they hoped that Grant could teach Jefferson that he was not just a hog, as he had been cruelly labeled, but a man worthy of respect and self-worth.
