He soon falls in love with her and knows “that she's capable of anything, it's riveting”, meaning

The reader gets to know the true colours of Connie. She knows that she is pretty, she is jealous,

And when «she knows it's happening: that thing, that connection» between them, when she dances for him and «making him fall in love with her» she says to him: «We've got all we need. We don't need love. Don't diminish yourself – don't reveal yourself as a sentimental sap. You're dying to do it, but don't. Let's not lose this.» (p. 231). She knows she's driving him nuts, she knows that her rejection of his feelings makes him want to attach to her sentimentaly even more. She dances for him and teaches him what life really is. She – a 34-year-old illiterate janitor, teaches him – colledge proffessor, ex-dean, a member of highest rank of society class, what life is all about.

And good grief, he's forgotten about her by taking interest with her book making her clench her hands into a ball of fists though it doesn't last long as a wave of reasoning pass by her mind—she just has to control her temper. She's good. She's always good. But then he spoke—stripping off anything good about him, dipping into a conclusion that he's just a pretty

Connie’s culture shaped her to attract a predator like A. Friend by making her feel rejected in her own household. The rejection Connie feels makes her seek approval from those outside her house. She is blinded by her disillusionment of love, which causes her to be easily manipulated by A. Friend.

Although the primary method Jewett uses to characterize her narrator is through the content of the excerpt, the language used also serves to characterize. By using a word like “wonderful perfection”, Jewett shows that the narrator is a romantic thinker. By using extensive imagery in the opening of the selection, Jewett shows that the narrator is fixated on her physical surroundings, and is excellent at observing and describing

The appropriation of this aspect of the story into Clueless, reinforces the idea that holding one’s notions of beauty in high regard and enforcing these on another can lead to vanity and corruption of both people’s characters. Cher and Dionne decide to give new girl Tai a makeover because they deem her unnaturally red and wild hair, oversized flannel shirt and lack of makeup, unattractive. This decision is followed by a montage of Tai’s makeover, and upbeat, non-diagetic refrain “I’m gonna be a supermodel.” When post-makeover Tai is revealed she is styled similarly to Cher and Dionne and the backing singers sing, “it’s so beautiful.” The correlation between the lyrics and visuals suggests that the way Tai looked before the makeover was not ‘beautiful‘ and the beauty ideal the Cher has enforced upon her is ‘beautiful’. This message is further explored through Tai’s newfound attractiveness leading to her becoming vain and arrogant. This change in Tai’s character culminates with the infamous insult “why am I even listening to you to begin with? You’re a virgin who can’t drive.” After her makeover, even through Tai is now seen as conventionally beautiful, her personality is not. Tai’s character development emphasises the drastic effects vanity and superficiality can have on a person. It reinforces the idea that beauty is not as important as a person’s character, which is one of the main messages of Clueless and

Accordingly, Fantomina acts repetitively throughout the novel to gain the attention of Beauplaisir as a result of an identity crisis. This is relevant because she has a process of developing a character and subsequently seducing Beauplaisir, but she never realizes that she succumbs to each new role. Succumbing to the role almost as a method actor, she hides her true identity by burying beneath each character she embodies. Method acting tends to take a toll internally on a person and Fantomina is clearly affected, “she found herself involv’d in a Difficulty, which before never enter’d into her head”, she feels pulled into the role here and it reflects in her thoughts showing internal strife on how she initially uses her first character to interact with suitors (Haywood, 43). Therefore, Fantomina painstakingly undergoes a full transformation to become each identity to the fullest extent she can while discarding the previous layer of identity until her final true identity is revealed. Slowly, she peels away false attributes in the characters she acquires. As previously stated, the method of her embodiment of a role causes her to subconsciously adapt this persona as her own disguise. This method is how she can successfully adopt new alternative identities.

A minimal nod confirms his statement. Søren thinks to himself that he hasn’t seen eyes like this man’s before- not royal blue like his, dark and fathomless, accentuated by white-blond eyelashes as long as any doe’s. Distinctly, he registers that the man is quite beautiful

The men noticed her firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets; the great rope of black hair swinging to her waist and unraveling in the wind like a plume; then her pugnacious breasts trying to bore holes in her shirt. They, the men, were saving with the mind what they lost with the eye. (2)

Some people dream of being able to live up to their society's beauty standards but this was no problem for Tally Youngblood a 15 year old girl living in a world where everyone was turned pretty by the time they were 16. Uglies is a science fiction novel written by Scott Westerfeld that will make you jump out of your seats with its twisting plot. Although being beautiful seems like a blessing to most people in their society, others would disagree. Those people would run away to communities like the Smoke where they stay ugly forever. One day Tally's newfound friend, Shay, disappears leaving only a puzzling note with directions to the Smoke behind. Tally is taken to Special Circumstances, an organization responsible of keeping pretties and uglies

She takes in every word he says and joylessly laughs and smiles over every remark. The author uses gustatory imagery when saying she “drinks” in his words with “eager lips” as if she can taste every word. Red is the color of passion and lust, which is exactly the color she “paints her mouth”. The reader not only gets an image of a couple all dressed up with nowhere to go, but the author’s metaphor compares her to an actual painting. Like art the value of the woman has been based off objective beauty and not substance. Both her and her lover know their parts. He, like an actor to an audience “rehearse his loves to her” She in turn, pretends to be amused. She has fooled him into thinking that her take on life is light hearted, joyful, and not at all morbid. She knows that simulating happiness is much more appealing. She wishes that she could articulate her “staring eyes of nights,” but her and this man are not close enough for that. The man shares imagery of “fresh adventures” while she must conceal her inner thoughts. She envy’s his ability to travel alone. She longs to share these experiences rather than hear about them second hand. Possibly to stimulate arousal, he tells tales of other lovers along his travels. Her fake reaction of approval pleases him. She mustn’t say how it hurts to be compared to them. She meets the standard of a good girl- always

For example, Charlotte is an all around plain and boring and always sports a look that seems like she just got out of bed. Charlotte is also a complete slob in every aspect, “I’d see her first thing, shuffling around the communal bathroom looking a mess- undone, always, in every sense- with her t-shirt tucked into her knickers, a fag hanging out of her mouth, some kind of toothpaste or maybe mouthwash residue by her lips and those bangs in her eyes” (188). It’s strange to understand why the narrator might want to be in a relationship with someone like Charlotte but it is because Charlotte holds a certain intriguing effect. She is simply just different and dissimilar to a lot of other girls which is why the narrator is in awe over

It must be terribly annoying to keep it up constantly.’ Marco frowns, but then, very slowly, his face begins to change. The goatee fades and disappears. The chiseled features become softer and younger. His striking green eyes fade to a green-tinged grey. The false face had been handsome, yes, but consciously so.” (pg. 276)

her eyes ... kindling a kind of active uncaring"(p. 114) toward him. Her physical beauty, "the rhythmic rise-fall of her buttocks, the tremulous up-downing of her behind"(p.151), will make him "hurt for her, for the taming of her" (p. 152), for years to come.
