I suppose I always thought of myself as Inger albeit without the cute beauty bit. <br />I always felt that the hero of the story was the little crying girl. She could have been peer pressured into contempt for Inger, despite how she felt, but stood firm in her actions not to demonize Inger. Even to the point of verbalising it, challenging the authority or the idea that Inger deserves the treatment she is getting.<br />I suppose when everyone is scapegoating Inger the little girl is there to challenge the myth that Inger is deserving of her fate<br />Again thank-you for a great beatdown.
