Examples of Imagery:

Lisbeth's passport photo:

“staring eyes, her mouth compresses to a thin line, and her head leaning a bit toward. It fits the image of a retarded, asocial killer, and the media publishes millions of copies of it.”

Descriptive images of Mimmi:

“just delicious. Not beautiful like a model, but genuinely attractive.”

“When she dresses up for a party, she can get anyone what so ever interests in her.”

Revenge:

“She can actually feel the box of matches in her hand. She hears the scraping sound of sulphur. It sounds like a drawn-out thunderclap.”
