Femme Fatale

The Carnal Sensations of the Human Desire, also known as sex, has finally taken effect in Sonny. As predicted, Sonny and Cindy had sex (I so called that), no surprise this antagonist would cause a fall for Sonny. Her character concept can follow the French “Femme Fetale” or the “Deadly Woman” in the ideas of Literature. She isn’t necessarily mysterious, but she is for one dangerous. People can agree on this, Women have massive influence over men and even though Sonny really likes it, but it has also cause fear with in him.
     He kept thinking about what Tino do if he were to find out. “You’re gonna get me killed” (125). Cindy has great influence of Sonny and has brought sexual pleasure. Cindy has also taught Sonny how being unfaithful to one’s spouse, “He’ll never know…I promise not to tell him ever” (126).  She began seducing Sonny form the start and she has gotten what she wants from him, not just sex, but she has Sonny satisfy her desires.
    Cindy’s character is definitely strong and independent and seductive and I can relate with this in our everyday lives. I have a friend who isn’t like Cindy, but she is strong, seductive, and dangerous (depending how you look at it), and she got me all sexual and provocative, plus he is real sweet and nice. However, I know another girl who can fit the Femme Fatale perfectly because she has seduced men and had they sent to prison. I think that every guy has met his Femme Fatale here and there, and probably will again in their future. Plus I really like how she has the archetype character in this book.
    More information on the Femme Fatale is she causes her mean to fall from grace, it’s a stretch, but when Sonny leaves from the Bowling Alley and takes the guys wallet, happens after he and Cindy have sex. He has stolen before, but he has never stolen from any random stranger in the street before. After meeting Cindy, she has caused Sonny to fall from his innocent and has grown more into his darker side. But as seen before as characters who play the Femme Fatale, will lead to a climax and she will play against sonny when he thinks she will help him.
    Some other interesting things was that the Femme Fatale is French, and Sonny wants to France, and in French Culture, the older women teach the younger men about sexual activities, some interesting French connections in this book. This book also reminded me of “The Graduate” and Mrs. Robinson. Cindy plays Mrs. Robinson and sonny plays Ben; and Nica is Elaine. Femme Fatales are my favorite type of female character because being sexy and deadly is just so hot!
    Externally, Cindy is a druggie skank who takes advantage Sonny. But if we examine more closely, she is the ever notorious literary character Femme Fatale. She is Dangerous and Seductive and will probably lead Sonny to eminent doom or at least the great conflict with him and Tino.
