Second reading (up to page 47): Madeleine! (Is she really so bad?) For Starters: Bad Boyfriends! Aim: How’s Madeleine’s Romantic Apprenticeship going? On the Bad Boyfriend-o-Meter, from 1) Future Source of Profound Humiliation, to 5) Absolutely Forgivable Mistake, where do we rate: High School Boy Visiting Brown? Billy Bainbridge? Dabney Carlisle? And then... what about Leonard, so far? And what about Madeleine? How is she striking you as a character? Funny bits: making fun of her freshman roommate’s birth control. Responding to the professor telling her she’s got a “worried” look: “That’s called thinking.” And not being hurt by his critique. What do you think of Madeleine??
