5. Betty's marriage to Spencer was all good but later on, she was unhappy. At first Betty's dream as for any of the girls in the movie was all about marriage. Once Betty was married, she was very unhappy with her relationship, Spencer was going to "New York". Betty really showed how unhappy she was, when she went off on Giselle and just broke down in tears. Betty's mother refused her to stay with her, because she is married with Spencer so she will stay with him. During this time people did not have such a strong belief on divorce also women did not have a lot of rights. 

3. Betty was a women who had one goal and that's it. What I mean, Betty was so determined to get married. So when she heard that Joan put in an application into Yale. Betty flipped and said what happened to marriage. At this time if I was Betty, I think I would react the same way. The only reason Joan didn't react like Betty was because Katherine talked to her and said she can do this and marriage at the same time. The girls at this time went by rules followed them, the school also taught the girls what the books say so the school had a affect on the way they are.
