It means that you know how the world sees you but you don’t really care, or seem not to care – it’s a form of armour. Making light of harmful comments (“the beastly little one”) or idle gossip means that they don’t have as much power to hurt you.If they weren’t united by blood and family ties, would these three girls have been friends? Discuss their relationship with each other. Discuss the outside world’s perceptions of the three sisters and how they see themselves. The Grey sisters have a little ritual in which they stand before the mirror and identify themselves as “the brilliant one”, “the beautiful one” and “the beastly little one”, making fun of the way other people see them.I like Mary the best, then Jane and then Katherine, possibly because that is the order in which I identify most with them. Mary is the most like me, she is the one that I can most identify with as she is an outsider, but is strong and determined, although people don’t always see it. The three are completely different and contrasting, and perhaps that it why they get on so well.Mary comes across as the outsider, serious, logical, strong-willed and determined, though most of these only towards the end of her life. Katherine, on the other hand, comes across as flighty, flirty, likes to be the centre of attention, loved, passionate and impetuous.Jane comes across as serious, studious, intelligent, logical, quiet, impassioned, determined and resolved.Discuss the personalities of the three sisters – Jane, Kate and Mary.
