The Devil Wears Prada Essay

     Throughout her life, which began at age three on the island, to the time in which she met the only other human contact, Ferdinand, at age fifteen, she learned many things from her father about life and all its complexities. Living on this island, Miranda is a product of " nurture" rather than that of "nature."

As nature becomes more unpredictable, Pfeffer indicates that the family is confused and unsure of what is to come, but aware that life is about to get extremely difficult. Although the family is just “a little shaken up”, there is no “sens[e] of relief” for Miranda as she displays true concern for her loved ones (27). Her reaction exposes the consideration and worry she feels, rather than the self-absorbed, immature attitude she expressed before. Not only does she worry about her family, but when her friend Megan begins sharing food and skipping meals, Miranda confronts her decisions because she cares for her health. Even though she disagrees with Megan’s conservation, Miranda contributes to the theme of

Miranda meets a man named Dev at an expensive make-up counter where she becomes enamored with his charm and appearance and from then on continues a relationship with him. Similarly, Miranda’s perspective of her new love is widely altered by her co-worker Laxmi, who usually has stories of heartbreak surrounding her cousin's adulterous husband. Soon Laxmi ends up inviting her poor cousin up to New York for a consoling spa day, but forgets about who will have the responsibility of watching her nephew. So Miranda ends up doing it out of niceness, where she is immediately met with the behavior of a rude elementary school boy named Rohin. 7 year old Rohin goads her into making him coffee, drawing pictures with him, letting him follow her around her apartment, go through her stuff, and just invade her general privacy. Eventually, she is convinced to try on a set of party clothes she had bought with the intention of of wearing in the presence of her lover and a fancy setting. Rohin exclaims and tells her she is “sexy”, something her lover had said just a week earlier. The word choice spurs Miranda to ask the young boy if he knows what he has just said to her, and he tells her he believes that thinking someone is sexy is the equivalent of loving someone you do not know. This makes her realize the impact that his

Soon after the ceremony, Miss Finch’s brother sells Isabel and Ruth to Anne and Elihu Lockton. As Isabel goes about her duties for the Lockton’s, she meets Curzon, a slave who works for one of the law enforcement officials for the Patriots. Curzon says that if Isabel comes to him with any information about he Loyalists' plans, he will have his master set her free. Back at the Lockton house, Madam mistreats Isabel and makes Ruth into her personal servant. Isabel overhears Master Lockton and some of his friends talking about money they have hidden in a chest that they will use to bribe the rebel army with. Isabel takes that information to Curzon but never gets freed. A couple weeks later, Ruth has several seizures from an illness, which make Madam believe she's possessed by the demon. Madam gives Isabel a sleeping drug to keep her from fighting back, and takes Ruth to market. When Isabel learns the truth, she argues with Madam, who has her punished by being branded on her cheek. Isabel feels more hopeless than ever from that. Curzon comes to apologize to Isabel and inform her that his master, Mr. Bellingham, has asked

Like a rich man telling a poor man to stop thinking about money,’ and ‘There was always class between us’. This can be seen as a metaphorical representation of the shifting power distribution of the time, the rise of the middle class instigated more opportunities for working and lower class people to gain wealth and power and further blurred the line between the traditional societal divisions. Clegg is representative of the old, caste-bound patriarchy and Miranda is a pioneer of the new, less rigid system. Miranda herself, however, makes reference to her hatred of ‘the new class people with their cars and their money and their tellies and their stupid vulgarities and their stupid crawling imitations of the bourgeoisie.’ and views Clegg as the epitome of ‘the new people’ although it is possible that this view is a result of her idolisation of GP and subsequent adoption of his ideologies and values rather than her own opinion as she also expresses her ‘…despair for days afterwards, thinking how much of their rotten, pretentious blood I must have in me’, in reference to her parents, implying that she feels she does not belong to the class she was born into or that she simply wishes to be free of the class-system altogether.

After the Cathal decides to help Harry and Andrew get away, the consequences of his actions bring the violence more fully into the household. When the IRA arrives at their home, Mr. Martin attempts to evoke

In Miranda’s case, she uses intimidation as a tool in establishing fear, respect and power. In the opening scene, Runway employees are seen running around in preparation for Miranda’s arrival. Once she arrives, she speaks in short commands and uses a condescending tone with all employees irrespective of their experience or seniority in her organization. “Do not bore me with your questions” was Miranda’s response when Andrea asked a follow-up question to Miranda’s instructions. To make her intimidating delivery more effective, Miranda does not make eye contact with her subordinates nor does she use common courtesy such as please and thank you. If Miranda feels that her above mentioned intimidation tactics have not worked, she takes to the ultimate intimidation levels with threats of dismissal.
