Modernistic Character

Modernism has very narrow ideals while postmodernism is broad. In "The Man from Mars" Christine is a prime example of a modernistic personality. Margaret Atwood describes Christine as a person who "always agreed with these estimates of herself." She basically says that Christine always accepts the views that people have of her. Atwood portrays Christine as being very simple in thought and never questioning what other people tell her. The way she acted towards other people really helped me understand the difference between modernism and postmodernism. She never really thinks of other people and doesn't care to learn about other cultures.
