Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Overview… a California bohemian who has come to teach History of Art at an all-girls school called Wellesley College in the 1950’s. Wesley is known as one of the most conservative institutions in the United States, and Katherine is anything but. Katherine has always wanted to inspire her students, though she finds that “inspiration” is not exactly what Wellesley is known for. She describes it as “a finishing school disguised as a college,” and is having difficulty engaging her intelligent and preppy students.

Personality…. independent, free-spirited, and intelligent. Katherine believes that her students shouldn’t simply grow up to be housewives. She aims to inspire them into becoming the freethinking people that they ought to be.
