Oky Doky, so Fantomina…….this is perhaps one of the craziest stories in the course for sure. There has been a great debate over whether she is a powerful figure or simply a whore and I’ve decided to throw my hat in with the whore side of things. Although she is definitely a powerful feminine figure with all the using sex to her advantage stuff, it still kind of sends the wrong message when you get to the heart of it. I enjoyed Hazel’s comment about how Beauplasir is a bit simple in the sense that he didn’t realize that he was, shall we say “getting jiggy” with the same girl…..I mean, really….wouldn’t you kinda notice this sort of thing….especially since he was cheating on her with someone completely different….but maybe that’s what did it….perhaps he has so many mistresses that he can’t tell one from the other…So, Fantomina is kinda powerful I guess in the sense that she uses what she has….she’s pretty stealthy using all of those identities, we must give her that….but I just have a difficult time with how she was essentially a prostitute…Any real evidence of her feminine dominance, however, goes out the window just because of the royal douchebag (pardon my french) that she is trying so hard to get….I mean, if he was a decent guy who was stable and treated her well, yea maybe I could see where she is coming from….but this is just not the case. Perhaps, in the end, they deserve each other though….they both really seem to enjoy deception….who says that isn’t a foundation for a healthy relationship?
