i really liked what this story represented (men being both repulsed and infatuated with women), especially how men carve a certain idea of a woman and get frustrated when they don’t live up to that or speak out against it.

i think i would have liked this a lot more if i knew the original myth that miller was playing on but it was short and sweet!

Way too short for it to have any impact.

I mean for a 20 page story, she was quite fun and quirky with a significant amount of depth
