Being a romantic, she takes her relationship quite seriously. “Maggie marvelled at him and surrounded him with greatness. She vaguely tried to calculate the altitude of the pinnacle from which he must have looked down upon her.” (Crane, IV). Surrounding Pete with greatness means that Maggie is unable to see his flaws, evidence of very deep feelings of attraction. Pete also treated Maggie like a princess, further fueling her affection. When Pete quickly forgot about Maggie and dumped her for some other promiscuous women, she was devastated, to the point that she sold out her body and took her own life. A realist woman would have simply moved on, but Maggie was too attached to the romantic view of Pete she had created in her
