Everywhere we look we are bombarded by images of what we
should look like; what shape, what size we have to be to be
beautiful, and then we tell each other that beauty is only skin
deep.
Is ugliness only skin deep also? It must feel so wonderful to be
beautiful. But to be ugly, to be seen as a monster, a freak; so
ugly that people mock you and point at you with disgust; How
would that make you feel?
Would the ugliness begin to go deeper, much deeper than skin
deep. Who really is beautiful? Quasimodo or Esmerelda?
