angelica quote about her virgin heartin the rover

” When we are first introduced to Angellica she appears arrogant and very self-assured. She seems to find pleasure in the attention she receives when men are admiring her pictures, although they think the price is too dear, “I’m not displeased with their rallyng their wonder feeds my vanity and he that wishes but to buy gives me more pride than he that gives my price can make my pleasure. When Angellica arrives in Naples she gets a very warm reception. ” This extract from Belvile reveals Angellica’s classy reputation and how widely desired she was. Men came from far and wide to admire her good looks, “She’s now the only adored beauty of all the youth in Naples, who put on all their charms to appear lovely in her sight â€“ their coaches, liveries and themselves all gay as on a monarch’s birthday to attract the eyes of this fair charmer, while she has the pleasure to behold all languish for her that see her.

She is not a court mistress, neither a common whore she is able to charge extremely high prices, as she is famous for her beauty. This is the correct definition but does not fully describe Angellica. The shorter Oxford Dictionary defines a courtesan as, ‘A court mistress a prostitute’. In ‘The Rover’ Angellica Bianca is a famous courtesan.
