Stream of Consciousness for picture A: I hope my cleavage looks good, I paid a lot for this bosom so it better be photogenic. This seductive pose should make all the men desire me, and sitting on this lounge chair should make them think of just one thing. I am glad that I paid for the leg wax as well, who would have known the photographer would transition the dress so provocatively.

When you look at someone you can imagine what they are thinking because of all sorts of clues. Does Latimer have supernatural powers, or is he doing exactly what we do by inferring facts upon appearance? Charles Bridge in Prague

The evidence that he has supernatural powers: the vision of Prague, which comes forth after his disease has stimulated these powers. When he goes to Prague to see if his vision was correct, it was. Is it possible that he at one time saw pictures of Prague, and remembered them vividly, so when he went there it was all true. If he could read Bertha's mind,it would take the fun out of it. You can project what you want someone to be onto them.
Bertha is not the ideal of beauty, lots of pale blonde hair - "perpetually craving sympathy and support", "closed secret of a sarcastic woman's face"- he thinks something is going to move her, and it is going to be him - desire to conquer the cynical woman. The mother in Latimer's life worshipped him. He sees himself as pretty exceptional, scholarly, and worthy. He goes to Geneva, home of Rousseau and Frankenstein - speaks about himself as Rousseau, he calls himself romantic
