Answer:
Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"
Below is an excerpt:
<em>"...And from the middle window he </em><em>looked down </em><em>upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."</em>
This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":
<em> "...and he would </em><em>look down</em><em> at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats. They were all shapely, shining;..."</em>
Explanation:
The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.
The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time. The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.
Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.

<em>Women in our society especially in tradition for most countries and places like (Asia specifically Philippines, Japan etc), they are expected to be not more of a fighter but rather, domesticated people who must stay at home to tend to their family needs. Women should also expected to get married, be faithful and loyal to their husbands and take good care of the whole family. They must also learn different house chores and is not required to finish studies. You can refer to traditional asian movies to see this. Women in Black Panther's movie are very much different. They can decide to follow their heart's desire. They are much more of a fighter rather than traditional women we know. They know how to handle weapons and they are very skilled when it comes to combat and defense stance. </em>

<em>This is not the first time that creators of Marvel have made women as a symbol of strength. In fact, they have many superheroes based on the comics who are stronger than male superheroes. Like Captain Marvel, for example. Her portrayal in the movie and in the the comics, she seemed to be one of the strongest female superheroes. In fact, she is almost equivalent to Thanos, one the supervillains of all time. The writers like it this way because they are planning to make more movies and involve more interesting story line and characters in the future. The same idea goes for making female body guards rather than male body guards. Writers can insert more spice to the story for choosing female characters. Lastly, there are write ups are saying that the Dora Milaje is based on real-life female army. To give viewers the impression of women empowerment. </em>
