Oh The messes One Must Clean

"That's why he doesn't want to marry. He wants to have a big triumph this fall all by himself." (pg. 55)

Frances always was a handful now she is even more determined to make her point be heard. Even if she is the most passive aggressive woman I have ever heard speak. It was ironic that the entire time she berated Cohn she always had a smile on. She would jeer and snidely poke out insults about Cohn and his false and unworthy promises. But she would continue to smile "that terribly bright smile" ( pg.56). She never ceased to make the moments with Cohn and Jake very uncomfortable. It was palpable uncomfortableness and this is was all fictional and on paper. The irony of the moment helped make the reader see the true aggressiveness that Frances is capable of.
