When to use "Either"

Hi,

This could be a stupid sounded question, but I can't be sure when I need to use "either." Is it optional in some cases? For example:

and the answer supposedly spoke volumes about the kind of person you either were or hoped to become.


I think the sentence above makes almost the same sense without "either" and I believe it is also correct grammatically. Is "either" used for making the sentence more understandable?



Thank you,

M

Hii, As I know either is usually use with or. Usually to show there are two options/alternatives. But when you place it at the end of the sentence.
