Bell Jar #4

Throughout the book we have gotten the notion from Esther that she wants to have sex. This is what she wants to get from Constantin. She wants him for her booty call; although she never comes out and says she wants to have sex with him. She does; however, give him sexual innuendoes. She even lays down on his bed. But, this fail to get his attention to what she really wants. Instead, he just goes and lays down beside her falling asleep. The furthest they go is when he holds her hand. Its not that he didn't quite understand what she was doing, but more so he wanted to be a gentleman. I think his choice to not have sex with her on their first date was a noble one.
