    has a superficial sympathy towards her childhood friend’s death, for the power they held over everyone. I don’t believe the narrator actually murdered her childhood friends herself, nor was she physically there when they were murdered.

    historically perceived as an undesirable trait conflicting with views of femininity. The goal is to have the reader understand why these traits are threatening to women’s roles in society. For example, Lena Dunham is described by Petersen (2017) as “too naked, but she’s also too loud, too powerful, too revealing, too much.” Dunham is a clear example of the unruly woman who has set out to provoke people through her art and
