    Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary (1996) and Zadie Smith’s On Beauty (2005) have two very culturally and physically different women at their centres. From her diary entries, we can deduce that Bridget Jones is a middle class, white woman in her thirties, who is, despite her proclamations about her obesity, actually an average size. Smith’s third-person realist narrative allows her to construct a clearer picture of Kiki Belsey; she is an American black woman of fifty-two and ‘a solid two hundred

    Bridget Jones chronicles a year of her life via diary entries in Helen Fielding’s book, justly titled Bridget Jones’ Diary. The first-person narrative entitles readers to Bridget’s inner workings. Buried inside we find something much darker than her hapless-yet-cheery blonde exterior would suggest—calorie-counting compulsions, daily weigh-ins, ruminations about her romance life, and much more. Though blunt and revealing, Fielding’s account of a 32-year-old singleton’s life fails to subvert the woes

Her mom also explains that she cannot stand her own problems and tries to solve them through others. This metaphor
