angry at herself

Post by azz »

a. The tall man met Jane, angry at herself.

b. The tall woman went to the preacher, angry at himself.

c. The tall man met her, angry at herself.

d. The tall woman went to him, angry at himself.


Are the above sentences grammatically correct and meaningful?

The question is whether the adjectival phrase at the end of the sentence can legitimately modify the object of the sentence.


Many thanks.
