Read the excerpt from "the gift of the magi." "don't make any mistake, dell," [jim] said, "about me. i don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less” jim’s quote expresses the theme that beauty disappears love is a distraction beauty is a priceless treasure love outweighs a physical attraction

love outweighs physical attraction

The correct answer is: Love outweights a physical attraction.

The speaker explicitly states that any physical change on her partner is not enough to make him like her less.

Although physical beauty is an important feature when it comes to attract someone's interest, Jim's relationship with his partner might have endured long enough to make him grow attached to the girl's personality, rather than her appearance. Thus, love surpasses image in this case.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
