Kezia's effort to please her father resulted in displeasing him very much because she misunderstood or misinterpreted what he truly wanted or expected from her. Instead of meeting his actual desires or standards, her actions, though well-intentioned, ended up disappointing him. This kind of situation often happens when:
- Miscommunication : Kezia might not have clearly understood her father's wishes.
- Different Expectations : Her idea of pleasing him differed from his actual expectations.
- Overdoing or Underdoing : Sometimes, trying too hard or not doing enough can backfire.
- Emotional Distance : If the father’s approval is hard to satisfy, any effort might seem insufficient or wrong.
If you are referring to a specific story or context (such as a literary work like Katherine Mansfield's "The Doll's House," where Kezia is a character), please let me know, and I can provide a more detailed explanation based on that context.
