QUESTION: Which three sentences in this excerpt from f. Scott Fitzgerald’s winter dreams show that dexter’s interest in Judy Jones has more to do with her beauty than her personality?
ANSWER
It began like that—and continued, with varying shades of intensity, on such a note right up to the denouement. Dexter surrendered a part of himself to the most direct and unprincipled personality with which he had ever come in contact. Whatever Judy wanted, she went after with the full pressure of her charm.(1) There was no divergence of method, no jockeying for position or premeditation of effects—there was a very little mental side to any of her affairs. (2) She simply made men conscious to the highest degree of her physical loveliness. (3) Dexter had no desire to change her. Her deficiencies were knit up with a passionate energy that transcended and justified them.
When, as Judy's head lay against his shoulder that first night, she whispered, "I don't know what's the matter with me. Last night I thought I was in love with a man and to-night I think I'm in love with you—"—it seemed to him a beautiful and romantic thing to say.
