Make Up Your Mind
Character Development Chapter 7
Reaction to Out of My Dreams and the dream ballet
Poor Laurey! She seems so distraught over her choice between Jud and Curly. She thinks the smelling salts from Ali Hakim will help her to make up her mind but I think she knows deep down that she would much rather go to the Box Social with Curly. If I was in her shoes I would certainly would have chosen to go with Curly. He is such a sweet and caring man. I think her biggest problem was that she was afraid to tell Jud she wouldn't go with him in the first place. I overheard her conversation with Aunt Eller earlier ( though I probably should have not been eavesdropping) and she said something about how Jud rubs her the wrong way and that she was afraid something bad would happen to her if she turned down his invitation. I have the same feelings she does about Jud. He's scary looking and I wouldn't want to be seen anywhere in public with him. Laurey eventually went to her room to go take a nap. Hopefully she is refreshed and her anxiety goes down once the party starts tonight.
