The Ending of "She's Come Undone"

Getting toward the end of the book, I thought it was the best part of the book due to the many different things going on in Dolores' life. The book takes the reader through the childhood of Dolores to her adulthood. It is an interesting transformation that she makes and it is interesting to see the many difficult situations she is put in. The events that takes place in Dolores' life and the ways she is treated is not typical for a woman. From being raped, her mother dying at such a young age, being unappreciated and ignored, being well over two hundred pounds in her teen years are few of many factors that affected her greatly as she was growing up. The most notable difference I noticed in Dolores from when she was a child to when she is an adult, is the amount of control she uses. As a child she would let others take control of her and never stand up for herself. She would always be passive in the way she would react toward people trying to offend and target her. As she grew older, more in to a woman, Dolores learned how to control her life in a healthier way and show people that is a strong individual. She did not let her former husband, Dante, use her and decided to divorce him for her own benefit. If it were the old Dolores, she would have probably let him walk all over her, but it was apparent that she has changed and has a new optimistic view on life.
