revised Essay- Princess Daizy by Judith Krantz

Have you ever imagined living to high society’s world? If yes, would you prefer to have such an opulence in your life? Well, this is according to each person, his overview in life. To choose if he desires to deal with aristocratic life or just having a normal life. For some people there is a lot of dreaming and for others not. Through the high social class everything considers to be changeable, but first of all the appearance and the good - looking.
To begin with, Judith Krantz, the famous author of Princess Daizy book supports every department of the high - life social class. She is a capitalist lady that believes on aristocracy, especially having a lot of money. She deems that a young, beautiful and rich woman is more desirable rather being old, ugly and without money. She considers the female model, a woman that has money through her life, it is always appropriate to keep her own beauty even if she is a young or a an old woman. With her book ‘ Princess Daizy” wants to bring out issues dealing with aristocracy, glamour , status and success. That every woman should keep this order in her life, to look for the bourgeois fancies of aristocracy. Judith Krantz, through her work broaches capitalism. According to Karl Marx, “it is not the consciousness of people that determines their existence , but their social existence that determines their consciousness.” The same it is happened with Judith Krantz. As a capitalist, supports that if you belong to the high social class, then you turn your eye to the theme of art. For a rich woman, art is a good instrument .This art can give her a nice appearance so that her beauty revealed. For Judith, if you have the money, you can easily emphasize in such a situation. This sounds ironic for someone who might read the book for a first time especially if he does not attach in that department of high life. But , people like Mrs. Krantz take it without this irony because they think with the mind of having such a life. .
In contrast , Cline James criticizes such an idea. From the beginning, he explores his ironic tone through Krantz’s book, Princess Daizy. For instance, women of high society who give a fortune in order to engage an attractive appearance. He is rather the opposite of what Judith Kratnz believes. He is a socialist man. He denies what Mrs Krantz supports that a woman who has the money should always keep her beauty. According to Engels Marx, “most socialists share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among and derives its wealth through exploitation, creates an unequal society.” So, James defines that all should be equal in society. Because there is a small range for those who have the power and the wealth, this does not mean that all should look for the same department. All people should look the same. He says that aristocratic women may have money, but this does not mean that they put on surgeries to look younger. Mrs Krantz posses this theme through her book, but James comes to change this idea. Not only women who obtain a good position in high social class can always have a good looking. There women who might not be in that position, to have the money to do maybe surgeries. But, they want also to care their beauty with every simple way in order to look nice. So, all should have the same equality in society. However, considering the world today, it is appropriate for a woman to be herself in society. Every woman wants to keep her beauty . By caring herself, takes a lot of confidence and looks comfortable through her appearance. She wants to adapt her own image in society. Living in the 21rst century, everything can happen. Εspecially technology that can have let’s say its “miracles.” For those who have the money and really want to change anything on their appearance, technology is their only solution. Concentrating on woman’s world , appearance participates an important role in society. In Cyprus, there are such instances. Important women who belong to the department of high social class, such as women in politics or even women whose husbands have an authority position in society. These women should always look nice and still preserve their beauty even though they may interest on having a surgery. The world of media today gets attraction when it shows a world of that kind of women. Obviously, woman’s popularity has as a prototype her appearance. So, all should admit, for instance men’s world that it’s woman’s nature to build such an idea. According to their nature, women should always look for themselves. To have as an expectation their own beauty and appearance. It considers to get all the attention in our world. And the reason is that if good looking and all the things of beauty do not exist, then the theme of attraction could not be anywhere.
To conclude, women’s appearance seems to be a valuable jeweler for them. It might sounds ironic, but it is not. Showing of their beauty, it is the reason to represent as women. Even if they are rich or not, they only know why they devote so much on their beauties. If someone wonders, why women pick up their own interest on having a finery appearance? A woman could answer “ that is woman’s world” so you should accept that “a woman cannot live without all these pleasure things that gives her life.”
