But Sandy especially calls her out that she selects certain girls that merely appeal to her vanity and seem easy to manipulate.
She says that she opted to stay away from Teddy Lloyd to devote her life to teaching young girls.
The book is more experimental and talks more about religion (part of Sandy's coming of age is rejecting the school's Calvinist teachings and becoming a Catholic nun) - whereas the play and film focus more on failed love and Fascist politics. But they are some of the most memorable aspects of it. Certain details of the film - notably Sandy's more assertive personality and Mary McGregor getting killed - aren't in the book. The play was not particularly successful and only got a boost in popularity after the film was made.
Adaptation Displacement: The book is well-known but it's often forgotten that the film is an adaptation of a play.Deviate from the norm and you could end up molested by an older man or killed by your own naivety. Accidental Aesop: If you take Jean's Fascism and grooming of Jenny out of the equation, one could get the impression the lesson is that conformity is ideal.
