According to Kübler-Ross, the anger stage is characterized by feelings of frustration, rage, and envy. Leticia's behavior, such as throwing things and yelling, is consistent with this stage. The other stages are denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, and Leticia's behavior does not match those stages as closely.
