Doniger Exibit

In Doniger's "Many Masks Many Selves" essay, we learned that the our personalities are made up of the many masks that we put on depending on the audience that we are trying to please. Changing our masks can be as small as the tone we use talking to an elder, or as drastic as plastic surgery. The audience that the person getting plastic surgery is trying to please greatly affects this decision. Most of the time, people try to look younger. However, the reason for this is that society has created the idea that young, tight and perky is paramount. Our appearance might be a mask that isn't included in Doniger's  essay, but when a person gets a surgical operation to change their appearance, I think it should be viewed as the "ultimate" mask.
