4. The text describes Manago as”bewitchingly voluptuous.” What does the character of Manago tell us about feminine beauty?
Manago is described as ”bewitchingly voluptuous.”, which means she was a charming, fascinating and seductive woman. It was all about her physical beauty, her sensuality and flirty voice. The character of Manago tell us about feminine beauty that women are primary portrayed as a sexual symbol by society. Women are supposed to be delicate and have some sort of beauty that men can be attracted to. Even though, Manago was an old big serpent she assumed that the only way to seduce a young handsome man, or any other, was by being a woman with an exotic beauty. So, this supports my argument of women being supposed to be a beautiful portrait that men fight for or cannot resist.
