Word entry- Barbie Doll

1. "Does't she look pretty? everyone said. Consummation at last." (652)

2. In the poem the author is focusing on how other people define what beauty is. I think the word is used to describe that the girl is finally perfect with "cosmetic painted on" (line 20).

3. Consummation- " the state of being consummated; perfection; fulfillment" (Dictionary.com)

4. Finally! My guess was right. The word consummation means perfection. It always makes an connection with the title Barbie Doll. Has a child I remember Barbie Dolls were perceived to be perfection of an women/female.

I've attached a photo of how barbie would look like in human form. Her body is not proportional and the dolls are just not realistic.
