Abstract: | This short story is written considering some possibile, real declinations of the performing arts. An ambitious young woman named Jessie assumes the concurrent, yet seemingly-contradictory identities of academic intellectual by day and exotic dancer by night, driven by her struggles with the Madonna-Whore Complex and the assumptions that working in the field of sexual entertainment will quell her insecurities, and make her more desirable by increasing her sex appeal. Jessie‘s role as a racy entertainer boldly displays her sex appeal, but masks her potential as a desirable wife, subsequently creating an allusion to the Sirens of epic literature. |
