    The quote shows the daughter Leah realizing how pathetic and inadequate her father Nathan's focus on her deceased sister Ruth May's soul is, instead of dealing with her death. This quote represents the last straw in their deteriorating relationship and final division in beliefs, as Nathan's absurd obsessions have led him to disregard the fact that his daughter just died minutes ago.

    “I looked up when he said this, startled by such a pathetically inadequate observation. Was that
    really what mattered to him right now-the condition of Ruth May’s soul?” (368 Kingsolver)

    In this quote, Leah finally recognizes how stupid and pathetic her fathers actions are. I believe
    this is the “last straw” of their relationship, the final division in their beliefs. Nathan’s absurd
    obsessions have lead him to practically disregard the fact that his daughter died mere minutes
    ago.
