The character of Linda is very similar to the character of Abby from Blood Simple, who was also portrayed by Frances McDormand. Abby is described as the “woman whose weakness and dissatisfaction set the story in motion. She saves herself against all odds, but this is more of a matter of random good fortune than of either sangfroid or intelligence” (16-17). A similar case could be made for Linda. Linda’s dissatisfaction with her body and need to “reinvent” herself drives the plot as she desperately tries to acquire money to pay for her plastic surgeries. She fails to recognize that the “intel” she thinks she has is completely useless, and she still selfishly pushes onwards coming up with plan after plan, without even realizing the deadly full extent of her actions.
