Brittany Taylor: Difference between revisions

Though Brittany is no Einstein and can prove shockingly ignorant and gullible, she sometimes displays an unusual sensibility about things, and is certainly smarter than Kevin. In [[Malled]] when Kevin stole "a cute thingy with a cute thingy" she dragged him back to the store to return it while Kevin apparently didn't understand why. When Daria was having a crisis over wearing contact lenses in "[[Through a Lens Darkly]]," Brittany was able to console her and defuse the problem, perhaps repaying Daria for the help she gave Brittany in "[[The Misery Chick]]." She also displayed an uncanny knack for military tactics in the episode "[[The Daria Hunter]],", surprising many of the characters with her plan to win a paintball match. In several episodes, she displays an ability to manipulate males.

While it would be easy for many to say that Brittany is generally stupid;, several facts must also be taken into consideration: that Brittany had her own advice column in the [[Lawndale Lowdown]], that she wasgot asome competentfavourable fictioncomments writeron thatCreative simplyWriting neededassignments experiencefor in[[Timothy order to better relate the concepts and ideas she wished to convey in her writingsO'Neill]] (asboth seen in the [[The Daria Diaries]]), thatshe despitehas anyan outwardinterest appearance,in shesome didShakespeare notplays onlyand managewas able to graduateperform highlines schoolfrom under''Romeo [[Angelaand Li]]Juliet'' (who[[and didthat notdespite evenany graduateoutward [[Kevinappearance, Thompson|Kevin]] because heshe did not meetonly academicmanage standards),to graduate but that she also was accepted into [[Great Prairie State University]] - regardless of the level of academic ''gravitas'' the institution possesses, the fact remains that between her academic and extracurricular achievements, she did manage to get accepted on her own merits.
