When he had finished with the orange-tree, he began at the cactus but this, not being so easily plucked as the orange-tree, pricked him dreadfully. (681) But Eco notes that this passage could also

The ways we see women in our society are still as inferiority gender. We have altered modes of portraying women's, but the result has been the same for a long time, and digging down all those aspects that make women inferiority, we may find beauty as a reason not sufficient but necessary, which explain that. Beauty as an instrument that may account for women's inequality, and its relation with hierarchies and social roles.

it is, you end up believing it yourself.” Abdul, one of Baudolino’s friends expressed a similar whim, “The vision was an illusion, but what I now felt inside was not; it was true desire. When you feel it, it's not an illusion. It's real” (Eco, 2002).

It truly was a passion. Even now, many years later, here I am, the same shopaholic and fashion maniac I have always been.
