Allegedly Handsome in a Turtle Neck Sweater

     Hello, in this blog I would like to explore further the small group discussion of is Buddy Willard a hypocrite? Here is the link to that discussion if you want to take a look:  https://thecomingofagenovel2026.blogspot.com/2026/02/small-group-discussion-is-buddy-willard.html , but you might get a redirect notice where you want to click on the first link which looks like the one in this blog although the second link may not work anyway. I think Esther Greenwood means that she thinks Willard is fake by calling him a hypocrite.      I think Esther thought Buddy is her ideal man . During one Christmas vacation, Esther says that Buddy wore "a thick white turtleneck sweater and looking so handsome I could hardly stop staring" (Plath 59). This quote was when Buddy invited Esther to Prom. Here is link to page 59 if you want to take a look although it might be illegally pirated so I wouldn't risk t:  https://online.fliphtml5.com/ozpri/beyu/#p=65 ....
