Question

What does the emphasis on the word pretty and Dexter’s reaction to the news of Judy’s situation tell readers about his attachment to her

Answer 1

Answer: Dexter no longer loves Judy but still feels tenderness and pity toward her.

Letter A, in other words.

Answer 2

Dexter emphasizes the use of the word pretty during the final dialogue of Scott Fitzgerald's Winter Dream. This is because it is aggressive the insinuation of his interlocutor that the beauty of Judy is not such, since that beauty was the engine that drove his dreams of youth. The news of Judy's situation impacts him because he realizes that he can not go back in time and that in his current world there is nothing that could interest him or cause him the emotion he felt for Judy at the time.
