Bell Jar 2

What does Esther think of Buddy? What does she want from him? What does she want him to think of her?

First when Esther meets Buddy she loves him. She likes that he is smart, athletic, and good-looking. She later comes to realize that he's hypocritical and awkward. Also, Buddy tells her before they met that he use to date a girl for along trime. He says that he has alot of sexaul experiences with her. After hearing the awful news, Esther gets mad of what Buddy has done. So now she see's Buddy differently now. She wonders why it's ok for him to do it but not her. One part in the book is when Buddy ask Esther if she wanted to see him naked. I think that was very awkward to ask someone that. He wanted to see her naked and she wasn't comfortable to do that. She wants to get back at Buddy by sleeping with another man. She finds out that Buddy has TB and can't tell him how she feels. Basically that she wants to break up with up with him.
