I see people dressed up as every kind of evil, ugly thing. If they stayed as ugly as they do themselves up to be- wouldn’t they be upset? You see woman at work with spiders dangling from their ears. These same women would go into a screaming fit if a tiny, real spider ventured onto 5 their desks! And a spider

Grotesque bodies = defamiliarized bodies, as DW is out of proportions, ugly and scary. She evokes both fear and disgust + is a woman proud of her body, assuming its unconventionality. To her, it is a legitimate body since it exists. Metamorphosis & metatextual. * Puritan attitude to sexuality is emphasized in the

wonders if she needs to go right back to her childhood to trace the reason.
