He uses symbolism when she is first introduced; “Both men glanced up, for the rectangle of light was cut off.” The reference to the light can suggest that she cuts off the light because she is a negative character, and/or she takes away anything, which is good. The description of Curley’s wife starts with “a girl” that suggests that she appears looking sweet and innocent, childlike even. During the description, the colour red is repeated several times, “rouged lips”, ”her fingernails were red”, “red mules” and “red ostrich feathers”. This is a key thing because usually the colour red means; love, danger, blood, prostitutes – red light district, and passion. Red is also a primary colour in which young children are attracted to, this could explain why Lennie likes her so much; he has a childlike manner.
The film starred Marilyn Monroe as the blonde and Jane Russell as her wise brunette friend. The Encyclopedia of Hair describes Monroe's role as that of "a fragile woman who relied rather on her looks rather than on intelligence - what some people refer to as 'dumb blond'. At the same time, in the film she demonstrates a certain amount of wit regarding her life position expressed in her hit "Diamonds are the girl's best friend".

She was not afraid to flaunt herself at men and the media.
“the two older sisters were very vein and cruel…[they made the girl do all the house work and charred her face] pg.” The story really shocked me. I thought that the girl would become beautiful like in the other Cinderella stories but, I was wrong.

In The Snow Child the themes of sex and violence are closely linked. This tale is particularly disturbing, with the rape of a dead chid at the end of the tale. The Snow Child is violent from the very opening where the Count and Countess coming across “a hole in the snow; this hole is filled with blood”. This has violent connotations as it is never explained why the hole is filled with blood. The Countess’ plan to kill the child is also violent as she wants to be “rid of her” and hopes that the child will drown.
Another line, “[…] the dress yellowing, trembling if I open the wardrobe” may be reflective of her personality – tarnished by years of neglect just like the dress. The yellowing may also be representative of the character’s decaying sanity. Colour is used once more in the text to express the effect misfortune had on Havisham. “A red balloon bursting in my face” is metaphorically referring to her love (red being a colour associated with passion) effectively being tore apart
