It can be said, then, that to say that something is beautiful is to have judged it as beautiful.

It is not a modern neurotic bond, but a common-sense one that was perhaps more able to flourish in that simpler, bleaker time.” (Rosenfeld, October 16, 1992) What Rosenfeld intimates is that people in America pulled together in these hard times in a way they do not when times are good.

As a woman trades her physical being for security within a marriage, as the businessman sells his integrity for the sale, and as the artist trades his point of view and embraces the popular to get the job, the human experience is riddled with metaphorical instances that can be pried open when the prostitute is captured on canvas, film, or the cinema.

The narrator makes her scorn for the male gender apparent right from the beginning too. “They are men after all!” she exclaims, “Each thinks he will come, conquer, slip on the garland, grab the bride and drag her off with him.” This is not just a facile insult to all of mankind, but a subtle critique of the very system of the “Swayamvara”.

Williams, in a way, was pragmatic as he gave new practical dimensions to how culture is perceived and he has written many volumes where he empresses freely his own innovative socialistic outlooks on the culture where he unearths the role and importance of television and other new forms of media in molding culture and culture perceptions.
