I have been thinking about Midge and Judy and why Scottie is so drawn to Judy and not to Midge, even though she makes herself available to him. I think that Midge is a good example of the ideal woman. She is unexciting, and would be the kind of woman that Scottie could marry and have a normal life with and normal children and maybe even a dog and a white picket fence. She is too predictable and mundane, which makes Scottie not want her. He wants eroticism and excitement, something unusual. Judy would be the shadow of the ideal female. She is the one that is dangerous, intriguing and sexual. She uses those qualities to seduce Scottie into “following” her and she eventually gets him to fall in love with her. She lies to him and deceives him and is ultimately responsible for his downfall as well as her own.
