Which excerpt from "Good Country People" best exemplifies why Joy/Hulga is a traditional Southern gothic character?

was that she had been able to turn it herself into Hulga.

Joy, whose constant outrage had obliterated every expression from her face, would stare just a little to the side of
her, her eyes icy blue, with the look of someone who had achieved blindness by an act of will and means to keep
it.
O Joy would get up while her mother was eating, and before long, Mrs. Freeman would arrive at the back door.
