Frances Nicole from The Spirit Bares its Teeth
“Frances is twisted, stretched, broken to pieces. Her parts don’t fit together the way they should. Ellen’s mind was not her own and Frances’ body was not her own. Whatever rule she broke that caused Headmaster to bring her down here, it was a dehumanizing, brutal violation of the body. I can guess. I don’t want to guess. I don’t want to think about it at all, how terrifying her last hours were, how quickly they disposed of her like rotten meat” (White, 288)
