"She did not believe he was a monster. He was not a monster, to her." (145)

               Atwood uses exemplification (the interview) to show that when in love, people overlook the negatives in others and only see the positives. Even though the man ran a Jewish prison camp, she only focused on the endearing traits she saw in him. She overlooked the things he did and only saw the root of his persona, or at least what she wanted to see. This woman was so in love with the man, that the horrible things he did hardly mattered. Atwood is saying that when in love, it is easy to be oblivious to negative qualities and actions.
