"The company began to disperse when the dancing was over- enough to leave space for the remainder to walk about in some comfort; and now was time for a heroine, who had not yet played a very distinguished part in the events of the evening, to be noticed and admired. Every five minutes, by removing some of the crowd, gave her greater openings for her charms." (Page 24, Chapter 2)
I chose this quote because it seems as though the term "heroine" has come up frequently, but there is nothing that has happened that has made her seem like a hero. I am wondering what is going to happen later on in the book that justifies this "heroine" term. I also find it really funny how much she thinks about boys, specifically the boy she meets at the party. I think is also very relevant to the present day because I remember being Catherine's age and always wondering what boys thought of me. I am very interested to see Catherine's character development throughout the book as she grows up. She seems very focused on how other people perceive her and making sure everyone likes her or thinks she's attractive. I'm wondering if this is just a trait of hers or if she will develop over time and she will change. I am looking to reading more to see how the plot develops. I am also curious to see what the conflict will be. And if that is what is going to make Catherine a heroine.
