How does Boyne use the narrator and narrator's limited point of view to suggest Mother is unhappy when Bruno passes her on the stairs?

Answer 1

Boyne uses the narrator’s limited point of view to suggest Mother is unhappy when Bruno passes her on the stairs as Mother was when Mother closed the door in Father's office. I know this because it states that “Mother entered Father's office, which faced the dining room - and was Out Of Bounds At All Times And No Exceptions - and he heard her speaking loudly to him until Father spoke louder than Mother could and that put a stop to their conversation. Then the door of the office closed and Bruno couldn't hear any more so he thought it would be a good idea if he went back to his room and took over the packing from Maria, because otherwise she might pull all his belongings out of the wardrobe without any care or consideration, even the things he'd hidden at the back that belonged to him and were nobody else's business.”
