Arnetta In Daphne's Short Story 'Brownies'

Satisfactory Essays
Open Document

Arnetta is the weakest character, and Daphne is the strongest in the short story, “Brownies.” Arnetta does nothing but mock and criticize to be little the others. “Emboldened Arnetta made a gesture to mock pride toward an imaginary sash, the way the girl in full uniform had done.” (Pg. 298 paragraph 1) One must be pretty pathetically weak to mimic a girl with learning disabilities, trying to show pride and make fun shows how spineless Arnetta is. However, Daphne is the exact opposite of Arnetta, she shows indomitable strength with and without using words. Daphne goes her own way unless nudge into misjudgement of the rest of the group. “Daphne shrugged her shoulders at first, then slowly nodded her head when Arnetta gave her a hard look.”
