My group and I didn’t get to share some of our ideas about Hero, but we mostly talked about her double nature and how contradictory it was. Her clothes were described as being made of “lawn.” In the footnotes this was described as “as kind of fine linen or thin cambric.” The thinner fabric suggested to me that her clothes were see through, which plays on the doubleness of Hero’s nature as hyper-sexualized and virginal. The blood on her dress show how much she is desired by men, but it also symbolizes that her dress has been tainted by the blood and therefore isn’t as innocent as she is perceived to be.
