comment on language

The language that Belle employs as a narrator is simple and direct, in-line with the no-nonsense attitude of the business she is in. Belle will either narrate or say directly how she is feeling at any given moment, with little filter. For instance, when Belle is distraught following the ill-fated with B. Gruss II, she abandons any sort of professional calculations and displays her feelings on the surface in the final moments of the Glass Ceiling club: "'Why do you dislike me so much? [...] Those women sat like statues. Like they didn't even know how I got to the table. They acted like I was a freak'" (205).
