Margaret Atwood: Shrieking New Money

Posted by admin on Thursday, November 3, 2016

Margaret Atwood Funny Money Quote saying those who are newly wealthy will appear uncomfortable dressed in riches and it’s apparent to everyone. Margaret Atwood said:
 

 

“They were new money, without a doubt: so new it shrieked. Their clothes looked as it they’d covered themselves in glue, then rolled around in hundred-dollar bills” — Margaret Atwood

 

 

The author describes the wealthy characters as “covered in glue and hundred-dollar bills” to convey that they are new to wealth and not yet comfortable with it, much like how glue can be sticky and overwhelming. The use of hundred-dollar bills emphasizes the excessive amount of money they have.
