First half of "The Lifted Veil"

After looking at two images of women:

Lady on right: "... and this camera, try to keep shoulders back, lift my chin a little, mouth closed - should have gotten my teeth whitened before this, why didn't that appointment get made, I could have called, why didn't I call? Wish there was a better background behind me, it's kind of blah, make the smile reach to your eyes, hope it's working, shoulders down and back shoulders down and back shoulders down and back, I wonder if I'll look washed out, when can I move on, what's going on up ahead?"

- Mandell: "So, I'm channeling AIRHEADS!"

- "When you look at someone, you can (or can you?) imagine what you're thinking through all kinds of clues - it's a way of understanding the person in front of you."

- Does Latimer really have the supernatural powers he thinks he does? (Group work - get specific pages if possible):

We didn't question it at first - considered the possibility of Latimer's being very, very good at reading nonverbal cues, and he has a very good imagination - Romeo complex - he never sees anyone outside of a handful of people, and later in life he sees even fewer people, so the possibility of testing this possible power diminishes, and it gets harder to judge whether it's real or not - in fact, this discounts the alleged truth of it. His visions are bizarre, though.

- Why can't he read Bertha's mind? He's projecting what he wants of her onto her.

- What makes her such a great screen to project on?

- Goes to Geneva (Frankenstein's home), and imitates Rousseau by lying around in a boat.
