What fits by Eisen

s untraditional approach to sexuality and what does she want it to say about her character. ” The author is trying to show through the characters’ sexuality that she has intimacy issues. Through the characters’ sexuality Eisen has given the audience more of a feel for the character and an explanation for her actions. For example, at a point when Tano was showing her pictures the character describes how Tano “rests the album vertically on her pubic hair line”. Sexuality is so incorporated into the characters’ thoughts that it can seem to be a random thought that just pops out of her head. Eisen could have stated that the album was placed vertically along her abdomen and the idea of the screen would have been unaltered. She was trying to show that her problems with sexuality can explain some of her problems in life.

Eisen gave her character such a nontraditional sexuality to get the audiences attention. Her problems with intimacy are a nice example. So large that it spills into other parts of her life when it would seem inappropriate. For example she commented that, “Letting a guy put his books next to mine is much more intimate than sleeping with him.

From the beginning the main characters’ sexuality is prevalent. For Example upon examining Tano one night the character states,” He needs a haircut, and sometimes when I masturbate…” Theses random and inappropriate remarks show how the characters’ sexuality manifests itself in other points of her life. This is just another way of developing your character. Eisen’s character will bring up sex or write words that would conjure a sexual image when it would seem to be most inappropriate or out of the blue.
