Dorothea reads a novel about a woman named Zoreda who joins the U.S. Coast Guard. While she is on duty, a hurricane hits the East Coast. Zoreda musters all her strength and courage to rescue a man who was trapped in his sailboat by the storm. The two eventually fall in love and marry. Dorothea knows that the story draws on the traditional pattern of a strong hero rescuing a "damsel in distress." Which explains how this new rendition affects the story's meaning?
