The timeline recalls various instances of tragedy in Emily’s life in no particular order, evoking pity when the ultimate tragedy is discovered in the conclusion.
The timeline jumps around, noting instances of Emily’s eccentricity in order of least to most ominous and therefore building towards the grotesque conclusion.
