I've had a hard time responding because I have read ahead and
don't want to mention anything that occurs later in the book.
But about this section, what I find interesting is the women
in Skeeter's life. We don't really "know" Constantine but we
met her mother- a less-than-progressive mother who advocates
for marriage, Hilly- the social leader of Jackson, and even
Elizabeth- a passive mother and follower of Hilly. These
personalities bounce off and constrast so with Skeeter, having
finished college and somewhat rejecting the MRS degree (that
is, having attended college only to graduate and get
married). I like how the author has created such deep
characters... even if I don't care for all of the women in
Skeeter's life.
