Chivalry is dead..."Bernice Bobs her Hair"
Fitzgerald, ''Bernice Bobs Her Hair'' (1920) -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)
My thoughts when bernice stepped out of the barber shop and looked at Warren was..."Go to her you, fool! You know that her true beauty really isnt just in her hair." When he turns away and leaves with Marjorie, my diappointment set in. Men are pigs. ha. Then as I read on in the story and as Jay pointed out in class...If Warren had not walked away...The ending of the story would have been completley different. Bernice would have not learned a life lesson and would have not became the independent person she became by taking marjories hair and leaving the town. Great ending to the story, and for once I am glad the guy did not ride in as the hero.
