Crazy.

     "Her heart was beating all over her body-in her throat, her limbs, her helpless useless hands" (Wharton, 119).  Edith Wharton's use of diction really helps me feel what Lily is feeling when she goes to Trenor's house and is trying to get away.  When she was explaining how Lily was feeling I felt as if I was Lily feeling those same emotions.  I wanted to get away from Gus Trenor as much as she did.  I know that Lily did do wrong in leading him on, but the way he was treating her was no way to treat a woman.  I was scared for Lily.  Wharton's use of descriptive diction during this scene in The House of Mirth really helped me picture what was happening.  The way she would describe Trenor and Lily's actions and feelings allowed me to feel as if I was in the room with them.  I am a little nervous to find out what happens when the two come into contact again.  To be honest, I did not know if he was going to let her leave the house.  I did not know if I liked Gus Trenor at first, but now I know for certain that I am not too fond of him. As for Lily, I do not like who she has become.  She is creating this person that people do not like.  Many people are starting to talk about her.  She is receiving money behind her aunts' back, and I do not know how that is going to end.  Guess I will just have to keep on reading, and find out.
