"Well, well, well, I never even noticed" "Let yourself go, Laura, just let yourself go." (1282)
Laura's personality certainly revolves around her physical handicap. Because she is crippled, she has always felt different, and therefore would shy away from social situations, thinking that the people around her are having the same thoughts about her that she has about her self. This defect makes her so self concerned that she can not see passed this one aspect of her as a person. Because she does not notice her beauty, or intellect, she thinks that no one else is noticing them. This makes her subservient to her mother because she can not fend for her self, not because of her disability, but because of what she allowed her disability to do to her. Jim becomes important i this regard because he is the only person apert from her family that she has ever opened up to, and he tells her that what she views herself as is wrong. Even though they can not be together he teaches her that she as worth, and another guy would be lucky to have her, so that next time a gentleman caller comes, she will be ready.
