Alright when I read the Angel article it seemed like the angel represented the natural woman, ie. the woman in the writer that she was trying to get rid of in order to be taken more seriously by men as an author. Am I correct? If not help me understand what it represents because without that knowledge I really can't go anywere with the homework you gave on Friday.
ReplyDeleteRead it again. I'm not sure what you mean by "natural woman." She means the social constructs of what an ideal woman (wife/mother/hostess--no more, no less) was in her day.
ReplyDeleteOkay thanks that is what I meant "natural" was just the wrong word.
