Idea the author wants to communicate by repeating the word "silence" is given below

Explanation:

1.The day after her wedding on 14 September 1795, the twenty-one-year-old Copenhagener Sophie Thalbitzer (1774-1851) moved into her British mother-in-law’s home in Elsinore. Leaving her dynamic and well-to-do childhood home in the capital city was a turning point in Sophie Thalbitzer’s life. Not only was it a farewell to her parents, girlfriends, and all her father’s fascinating guests.

2. it was also a farewell to an era: the cheerful 1790s during which Sophie’s father, the wealthy merchant Johann Ludvig Zinn, had done splendid business with the envoys sent to Copenhagen by a young French republic. In her memoirs, Grandmamas Bekiendelser (Grandmama’s Confessions), written in 1807, Sophie Thalbitzer tells about her happy and sparkling youth, the parties, courtships, and tender friendships. “O happy days from my fifteenth to my nineteenth year,” she exclaims, recalling balls and evenings of play-acting and music-making when family, friends, and business associates arranged entertainment and parties.

3.Sophie Thalbitzer describes her marriage as a happy one, even though the home she lived in with her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law’s mother – the taciturn and formidable Grandmama – was certainly not dynamic. Those happy days when the rooms in agent Zinn’s home resounded with La Marseillaise were over.
