An enormous castle fit for any king or queen. The tops look as though they are scraping the sky; colors of pale pink and baby blue grace the tall pillars. A draw bridge decorates the castle. As I gaze into the background‚ I can see the tip of The Matterhorn‚ which makes me want to make a mad dash to Frontierland where my favorite Disney attraction awaits. Alas‚ the Pirates of the Caribbean. As we enter the ride‚ a scent that is memorable and everlasting

The idea of being able to take charge of how one’s own behavior is interpreted is a nice thought‚ but not possible‚ seeing as how external opinion becomes what matters. Arendt expresses how‚ regardless of individual opinion of one’s behavior and actions‚ one will always be victim to the critical gaze of others.
