Gliding with grace, She lounged “in her white suit” 76, Recalling upon customers, “women [who] were remarkably easy to please” 36.

Fusako's movements and reminisce conveys her symbolic position as a winged goddess. Her movements are described to be “gliding with grace”. “Gliding” is a graceful descent for winged creatures and it strengthens her image as a winged goddess. Furthermore, her “grace” adds to the peaceful, feminine ‘creature’ which personifies her status, into a gliding goddess. Finally, the alliteration supports her position as a winged goddess as it gives her an extra touch of femininity. The word “lounged” delineates her laid back attitude as it supports one of a goddess’, as the allusion of a god or goddess is usually carrying a buoyant attitude. Also, her “white suit” creates the pure, formal, aura of a god. Gods in many cultures wear white to symbolize the justice, purity, and righteousness while the suit reveals the formal, noble, elite impression they grasp. Finally, her reminisce of “the women who were remarkably easy to please”, implies her position as a ‘higher being’ as she looks down upon the fellow women as if she herself were in a higher ranking, and all the rest were puppets that she controls. Through Fusako’s elegant movements and pretentious thoughts, Fusako can be portrayed as a conventional winged goddess gliding with grace and wielding attitude.
