She was burning! Eva used her "mama powers" and gained the strength to break a window and tossed herself out the window. She had a plan to throw herself over her child and stop the fire. Now that's what I call LOVE!! Eva risked her own life for her child. I understand why she snapped on Hannah earlier in the chapter. She had the nerve to ask "mama did you love us?" Now, it may have seemed crazy for her to take out Plum the way she did but after reading her explanation for her actions it makes a lot of sense. He was so attached to her and she didn't want him to live that way. She wanted him to die as a man not as a big baby stuck under his mother. Was Hannah capable of being that kind of mother? Maybe if she was, she wouldn't have said the things she said about Sula. That may explain why Sula stood and watched her mother burn.
