What is an example of parallelism in the novel, You Should See Me in a Crown?

Liz’s mother’s velvet dress serves as an example of parallelism with motherhood and the passage of time. Granny is tasked with teaching Liz the same lessons of patience and perseverance that she taught to her own late daughter. The emphasis on this symbol and the illusion of turning back the clock ties together the end of the novel neatly and allows Liz to feel close to her mother once again. As Liz has finally grown into who she is and built up her self-esteem, she is truly seeing herself in her mother's image.
