Importantly, Jinny and Rhoda, who have already been established as fairly different characters, attend a party together in Section 3. Jinny, who has been established as the most social of the girls as well as the most materialistic, thrives in the party atmosphere, while Rhoda is the antithesis of this disposition. Jinny finds joy in the party, but Rhoda finds only hatred and sadness. Rhoda is characterized as the one character who is having the most difficult time adjusting to the world beyond childhood, which she bemoans the passing of at the end of section three.
