INTRODUCTION
Yes, I agree that appearances are appealing. Everything from the appearance of the landlady's home as warm and cozy to the woman's demeanor around Weaver is designed to be deceptive. She is portrayed as kind and caring, when in reality she is a monster. Weaver is taken by her kind and gentle nature and countenance, she has obviously pretend before to kill two others. This is where the 'don't judge a book by its cover' idea comes into play.
