You Intrigu Me, Would You Like To Meet?

In Tom Rachmans novel the imperfectinist one character stand out to me not only as notable but some one who if I had the opportunity to meat I would. Kathleen or as her ex lover calls her, Kath. I finder intriguing in the regard that she seems to stand completely dominate until one digs deeper. Kathleen states about her husband “’ He feeds me grapes most evenings”(110) Although only meant as a joke Rachman uses this point to indirectly characters Kathleen as some one who emerges as independent and dominant. Her dominance in the situation would not be asserted with out another human being but looking into the action of feeding someone grapes it can only be view as doming and used as an allusion insisting on the person only being of servitude states. The fact that Kathleen uses this demining diction in reference to her husband assorts how she purses dominance and will obtain it in what ever means possible. When talking to her ex though about there former sexual relationship Kathleen “says uncomfortable”(115). Rachmans use of the diction to directly characterizes Kathleen as uncomfortable when being critiqued by her ex lead to in the direct characterization of her being sensitive this leads to the indirect characterization of her as some one dependent on other views of her self. If Kathleen was not dependent upon these views she would not become uncomfortable with Dario’s critics of her instead though She becomes unconformable and defensive. This actions seems to juxtapose it self agents the Kathleen described only a few pages early. The Kathleen though is the same person and Rachman uses this awkward seemingly two faced lady to assort that although humans always strive for independence never can fully reach it, as Kathleen the dominating dependent proves. This internal battle of balance for her own longing for dominance and need to be dependent forces me to wonder how she can easily live in the ever fighting battle. I do believe though that Kathleen would be someone that would be able to answer the difficult question that the struggle ensues. I suppose this complicated internal struggle intrigues me and draws me in to wish to meat this woman only to discus how dominance and submission embody themselves in the same body.
