Glamour

I thought that the line in the book that said “we want what she has precisely because it appears to be beyond our reach.” In terms of glamour in the book, it says that the photo’s of Marilyn Monroe are glamourous because we want the phtotos because they are out of our reach. Basically we want what we cant have.  This applies to the movie because the main character is going crazy over something he can’t achieve.  The ad is glamourous in the sense that its unnatainable to him at the time.  It is something he wants yet he cant have.  THis is how it is portrayed in the book
