“For the next few days, I held it together remarkably well for a newly ruined woman. Granted, people avoided me like the plague. The phone was silent. No one came to call. I wasn’t crazy about being a pariah—albeit a stunningly beautiful pariah—at least I don’t have to see anyone” (252).
Around this point in the book she has presented an art show that was premiering a fantastic artist named, Sawyer Jackson. When all the paintings were revealed, one was of her, Fredericka, half naked in an oversized t-shirt of Sawyer’s. True that is mostly art- but in the high society that is clearly near non-classiness, and unacceptable. I like this quote because the main character is always about herself. Her ego is huge. This also shows that she is stepping down from her pedestal and actually experiencing real life. I also feel, somewhat from experience, that when you like to talk about yourself- like how pretty you are or like to say things like, but I’m so and so- that you tend to have an optimistic look on everything else. Just like in this quote how she turned a sort of bad situation into something that is much more manageable. This is one of those real life quotes. When you read this quote you can just imagine one of those times where you really embarrassed yourself and no one wanted to associate themselves with you for a certain amount of time- but then you though oh well I have better things to do and no one to bother me, so everything works out in your favor anyways.
