A telling glimpse of child psychology being formed by societal response. The reactions
of the townsfolk all too convincingly explain why Linda matures to be the practical
one and Giselle the lover. But there is a symbolic aspect at work here as well
in the girls' different hair colors. As Giselle, the blonde, is fair, so utopian
socialism is a bright dream that inspires people to "call out in the streets."
In contrast, Linda's hair is "dark," expressing the gloomy necessity
of law and duty. No one "calls out after" a strong restraining government
(or wife) dedicated to keeping order.
