The Gilded bits
The Concept words are:
· Never judge a book by its cover Missie and her husband believed that Ottie Slemmons was a charming man who had gold and money. She risked her marraige to get what she believed was real gold. She later found out that it was all a lie and the gold was fake and he isn't who he claimed to be. Never judge a book by its cover and all that glitters is not gold.
· Deceit Otis Slemmons deceives others into believing that he is wealthy man whom the ladies adore. To pull off his deception, he wears gilded baubles that women like Missie May take for solid-gold accessories. When he promises to reward her with riches if she will yield herself to him, she accepts his proposal. She plans to use her reward to elevate Joe to the status of Otis. She then deceives Joe by allowing Slemmons into her bedroom while Joe is at work. Her scheme fails when Joe arrives home from work early and discovers her with Slemmons. Her deception jeopardizes her relationship with Joe. Fortunately for her, Joe is a forgiving man who, in time, rebuilds the trust between his wife and himself.
· Forgiveness Several months after Joe finds Missie May with Slemmons, he is cool toward her. As the narrator says, “He [Joe] was polite, even kind at times, but aloof. There were no more Saturday romps. No ringing silver dollars to stack beside her plate. No pockets to rifle. In fact, the yellow coin in his trousers was like a monster hiding in the cave of his pockets to destroy her.” Gradually, however, he warms to her again—thanks to his patience and their still vibrant love for each other—and he fully forgives her.
The first concept Never judge a book by its cover reminds me of the play by William Shakepeare, The Merchant of Venice. Which explains why one shouldn't buy into something because it looks good. This plays relates because appearance was the downfall as well.
The second concept Deceit reminds me of the movie Indecent Proposal. They are similar because in the
