Speaker (A Certain Lady)

A woman who hides her true feelings and plays a role to please a man.

From "Enough rope: poems" by Parker, Dorothy

Core Belief

"She must hide her true feelings to maintain the relationship, even though it causes her immense pain."

Worldview

Men are incapable of understanding women's true emotions. Women must play a role to be loved and accepted.

Personality

Deceptive, resentful, and deeply unhappy. She is skilled at masking her emotions and maintaining a facade of happiness.

In Their Own Words

"Oh, I can smile for you, and tilt my head, And drink your rushing words with eager lips"
"Oh, I can laugh and listen, when we meet, And you bring tales of fresh adventurings"
