What kind of person is Rosemary? Where dose her help come from? What is her illusion?
Answer: (6/5/2009)
Her intention to help was not natural. She did this in order to do something unusual for her, which she had never done before. She wanted to boast later, she wanted to act like kind characters from books. Her illusion was that she thought the girl would consider her a really kind-hearted and open person. She was very surprised to hear that her husband thought the girl was pretty. This means Rosemary didn't know what made people pretty to her husband, she had never thought about it. Wearing pearls didn't make her pretty, but she was unaware ofthis.
