As we already read for the second test, the southern belle was a typical woman from the Southern America, concept that appeared in the antebellum period and that represents everything related to this perfect lady, obedient, beautiful, devoted to her house, her husband and her children.
one of their main characteristics was this "grace under pressure" attitude, featured also in the Hemingway's book, as this southern belle was always a graceful, flirtatious and beautiful, just like the women in the movie, which looks almost unrealistically perfect.
But has this perfection a price as the movie states?
Even though these ladies were always apparently perfect and graceful, they had to always hide their reals felling in order to maintain this grace. And, as seen on the movie and also on Faulkner's stories, the southern belle concept might give space for the Southern Gothic, which, even though describes mentally unstable women, relates also to the plot of the movie, depicting grotesque robot women and their leader, a woman capable to do anything to maintain this false idea of the perfect southern belle lady.
To wrap up, this movie embraces everything related to the Southern Belle and Southern Gothic concepts in a very modern and attractive presentation so I strongly suggest you all to watch it.
