I agree with the statement. The girl is immediately described as having “beautiful red hair and a white skin and eyes the colour of that green”, introducing her by her ethereal beauty, which highlights how noticeable it is, which can evoke a sense of jealousy or low self esteem in Rosabel, as she could be wondering whether people think that about her or why she doesn’t look as good as her. This description of “white skin” could perhaps emphasise her paleness, which in the early 1900s was seen as an ideal beauty standard to be more pale and look more white, contrasting with today where people want to look more tan. This beauty standard could also further make Rosabel seem more self aware and cautious, because this girl seems to fit all beauty standards and be rich too, emphasising how she is literally winning in life. Rosabel also refers to her as “madam” , emphasising her higher class and status. This could be annoying because they are also the same age, yet due to chance and luck Rosabel is giving respect to someone simply because she is rich, and the girl is receiving respect despite not giving it and not actually deserving it. This can create a sense of frustration in Rosabel, due to the inequality, as despite being respectful and caring she isn’t receiving it back and she’s being looked down on solely because of her status. Rosabel is described as having a “sudden, ridiculous feeling of anger”, which I think is genuinely very fair and reasonable, as the girl is bound to irk anyone with her behaviour. The feeling being “sudden” can highlight how up until now Rosabel has managed her emotions and reactions well but the girl has pushed her to her breaking point and she can’t control herself anymore. This can emphasise how insufferable the girl is with her remarks and subtle actions, which aren’t subtle at all. The girl believes as though she’s better or higher than Rosabel, due to factors that she or Rosabel can’t control. The fact that Rosabel took so long to even react highlights her good nature and professionalism, as despite everything she’s remaining calm and collected in a situation where many would have responded.
