The Bell Jar: Chapter 18

Journal Entry
#35
9 November 2007
Chapter 18
Page 241 Paragraph 7
Quote:
"I thought how sad it was Joan looked so horsey, with such big teeth and eyes like two gray, goggly pebbles. Why, she couldn't even keep a boy like Buddy Willard. And DeeDee's husband was obviously living with some mistress or other and turning her sour as an old fusty cat."

Esther is starting to compare people to herself. She wants to be better than Joan because that is what she's always wanted to do. She thinks that it is funny that all these women can't get men, or can't keep them satisfied. Esther wants women to be like her.
