Whilst
it is about scraps and fragments, these are brought together to make a whole,
just as whole structures, physical and metaphoric, are blown apart in Victory

| The Patchwork
girl is portrayed by what she is not. She is not violent, not monstrous
like Frankenstein's monster. |
|
| |
However
she is a monster to the perception of outsiders, being covered with scars
and mismatched skin areas.
| |
|
| |
She
does not lack love: as she was first loved by Mary,
so she is loved by other women and has various sexual encounters. |
