She optimizes the evils of money and loses all that is attractive about her when tied down to marriage. She was a goddess with no morals in the eyes of men but was desperate for power, lust, and the thought of finding love. Francis and Margot add an interesting twist to our achieved view of the rich. Francis was a metaphorical light in the darkness of money. Unlike the rest of the characters, he had a happy ending to his life for he was truly happy during his last moments. Death did not stop him, because no matter what anyone did or said about him, he had won; he beat his stereotype. Life is the lion to Francis Macomber, the "worst one can do is kill you" and in a way it did (Hemmingway 1587). He was the only one to be physically depraved because of his early death. He, ultimately, was desperate to be a man and desperate to have "no bloody fear" in leaving Margaret (Hemmingway 1587). The name, Margot, will now because of this character, will mean uncaring. Every aspect of her life had been by evil and hate for herself, which she then deposited onto her husband. She is the type of person that in order to make herself feel worthy has to taunt, tease and slander someone; she is "simply enameled in American female cruelty" (Hemmingway 1569). She is desperate to stay young and beautiful; she was desperate to make sure she was not left behind. She had Francis's ticket in her hot little hand but kept in close to her because without it he would have left her. For "Margot was too beautiful for Macomber to divorce her and Macomber had too much money for Margot ever to leave him" (Hemmingway 1579). This is a marital "check" to keep each other in a position where they might not be able to leave. This is clear connection to Judy Jones and the way she loves to play with a man's mind. Margot does it not like Judy just because she can, but rather because she believes, she has to. From the examples we can see a model rich woman: idle, sinister, bored, and scared, the perfect jezebel.
