Response Essay "Princess Daisy"

Is anyone who has not been dreaming to belong to the high life of glamor and luxury? Of course everyone has been day-dreamer to this fancy world. Nowadays, it is generally admitted that a person who has plenty money can achieve his social classification and give precedence to dominate in society. Although, to reach on the top and succeed in life is necessary to look elegant and beautiful. Does really matter?
According with Judith Krantz in her text book “Princess Daisy” she believes that “being young, beautiful and rich is more desirable than being old, ugly and destitute”. She matches together the money and beauty necessarily of woman’s succeeding in life. Obviously, to be a beautiful woman with attractive appearance you can gain the attention of men. She concern that only beautiful woman deserves the high social class instead of ugly woman. Therefore, she mention about Princess Daisy of her text to point out the importance of the appearance of such a person who deserve to belong to the high class. Additionally, Krantz expresses her admiration in the high social life since her whole story is associated with capitalistic elements. She referred to the particular polo sport which is symbolizes the aristocratic status; because only the people who belong to high class can have the opportunity to play this sport. In addition, she give emphasizes in details while she describe that the menu has a brown and gold border in order to underline of the first class restaurant. She shows that she admire that she belong to the exclusiveness circle of plentitude materials.
All the above, Krantz declared her admiration to the capitalistic system as many people of the high social life do. This system is encourages private investment and includes integral part to thrive the economic growth.
On the contrary, Clive James through his book “A Blizzard of Tiny Kisses” is virtual judge her book in ironic manner because she show off the aristocracy life. Hence, in the beginning of his judgment, he said that “she deserves her high place in the best-seller lists” although he characterize that is “a terrible book and totally inept.” Clive raises his contradiction towards Krantz due to the fact that she gets enthusiasm with the exclusiveness of the upper class. Over his judgment he point out that the people should not show their intimacy because is concern with the aristocracy and glamor. Furthermore, Clive said that “Mrs Krantz has not enough humour to write tongue-in-check, but other people are perfectly capable of reading that way”; he emphasize that the particular book you might look at it with two perspectives. Therefore, the readers’ who are membership of the aristocracy life they will not look at it in ironic manner as she presents the glorious life. However, the readers who are not possessed to the high class they probably read the book in ironic way and despise it while are not familiar with this flashy world. Krantz’s literary writing has luck of humor as long as she describes the high class with not ironic consideration. Clive judge Krantz book with this manner because he represents the leftism doctrine. He regards the social change to become equal in terms of wealthy distribution rather than rule with the private property. Besides, he correlated his self feminist because he stands as woman’s defender. Despite the fact, a woman with not good looking is also deserved to belong to the high class. He totally disagrees with Krantz because she creates a snob image of the high social class. He believed that the intelligent people who are dreamers for this life should not obstruct them.
I agree at some extend with Clive that she spoil the ambition to the ordinary people into vague image for those who want to keep dreaming of this kind of life. On the other hand, I believe that a woman should be have a good looking but not necessarily beautiful. It’s a woman’s nature to care about she’s appearance. It is well known fact that many women who are celebrities such as singers, models, politician and journalists own to care and keep their selves appearances well. Many times I heard about that celebrities have made plastic surgery in order to look youngest and keep fit their selves. Although, Clive does not agree that women should do this things because the ordinary people may want to imitate them; because they represent their idol.
Ultimately, to be a wealthy or not is not really matter; but what is really essential is woman’s appearance because is integral part in their life. As Judith Krantz said “Every woman knows that a good clothes fantasy is the only thing to rival a good sexy fantasy”.
