Symbol of women: No matter if Nicky and you can Judy share a good amount of interest and you will action, the brand new boy was “the new picked one” and therefore publicly by just virtue regarding his being a beneficial boy. When you find yourself Judy falls instantaneously and you can seriously into the Master’s power, Nicky the latest light-haired boy happens to be a great deal more resistant to him than simply someone, like the people. Some fun is actually poked during the sexist assumptions and Judy do excel in lot of times, but there is no major question concerning the justice away from old-fashioned gender opportunities, to your antique favouring of males more women. The newest humour only reinforces the brand new stereotypes, that have Judy, during the twelve, becoming called “the new housewifely kinds”, “enchanted” from the cooking area.

First and foremost, the cousin got new label. 2nd, you had to wear dresses within parties. Third, you were maybe not meant to ascend woods. Fourth, you have got captivated. 5th, he had educated.
