Question

Fitzgerald spends a lot of "Winter Dreams" looking at Judy Jones. We get tons of descriptions of her physical appearance and her manners. But we never get much of a sense of what she is like on the inside. Can you imagine "Winter Dreams" from Judy Jones' perspective? How might her point of view change the overall tone of the story? How do you think Judy might describe Dexter Green?

Answer 1

This question requires a personal opinion as an answer about the story "Winter Dreams." The following is an example of an opinion about Judy's perspective:

If the story were told from Judy's perspective, the overall tone would probably change in the sense that we would see into a spoiled, shallow person's mind. However, it is possible that Fitzgerald could reveal some sort of longing or sadness that functions as a motivation behind Judy's selfish actions.

When it comes to Dexter, Judy would probably describe him by placing some importance on his appearance or on the fact that he is crazy about her. That is all she cares about. Judy is not seeking real love, and boys are just a pastime to her.

Who is Judy Jones?

Judy is a very wealthy girl who has never had to work hard to get anything she's ever wanted. She takes it life, love and happiness for granted. If she is beautiful and has money, then the only logical assumption she can make is that she deserves to be happy.

Judy becomes Dexter's obsession. The ambitious boy fancies himself in love with her when he is actually in love with the idea of her. The illusion is shattered when he hears that Judy is married, lives a loveless, miserable life, and is no longer pretty.
