Attolia's Beauty
Jan. 23rd, 2011 10:28 am
Okay, I know I've been posting a lot, but I've just re-read and you know how it is.
So this new thought struck me and I was wondering what you lot would make of it. Attolia and her beauty. Gen falls in love with Attolia. Attolia is known for her beauty (which Gen always forgets because she is also known for her cruelty). But he is able to fall in love with her still, despite everything. Maybe more so, because he gets to know her and how hard she has fought to keep her country.
Only I still can't help but wonder, if Attolia was not only cruel but ugly too. I don't mean this is a 'mean' way. Eddis is described by Gen as ugly, but her personality makes her more loved. Where as with all Attolia's beauty she is only feared and well very much the opposite of Eddis. However, if Attolia was described as cruel, with a hooked nose and choppy hair...would Gen be able to find and love the real woman beneath?
Thoughts?
