ABSTRACT
Belle was dominated by her exhibitionism. Because she had been unable since earliest childhood to put aside her sense of being observed, she rarely felt herself to be genuine. Excépt when she was alone (and not always then), her head was filled with fantasies that men were watching her. This was happening, she imagined, for both happy and malign reasons: either she was admired and therefore was dominating her audience with her loveliness and sexual attractiveness, or the observers were judging her appearance in ways that would humiliate her.
