What kind of women does Wharton write about?
- Women's thoughts on other women versus women's thoughts opposed to men's thoughts
- Small view of discreet society that women share and understand
- Show aggression, jealousy
- Competition--women show pride
- Women are intelligent--manipulate to get what they want
- "Mean girl" mentality
Are their concerns different or the same as other characters that we have read about?
- In a general sense, similar because their desires are fueled by men, based on men, so they belittle themselves and going behind each other's backs; women are shown to be unable to live without men
- "The Coquet"--scandalous female behavior, hidden manipulation and competition
- Writers that allude to Greek goddesses--set in Rome also amplifies this
- No personality to male characters, no thoughts or expressions--prop mentioned
- Dependancy on men
- Women are shown to be intelligent versus mocking how men thought of women; women taking action
- Not shy to hide their feelings; more able to express their feelings
