When it comes to marriage, some of us all dream about marrying our ideal image of our dream person, but sometimes what we ask for may not always be what we get. Tetiyette and the Devil portrays the perfect message of, looks aren’t everything.
Tetiyette in this case is stuck in a rushed marriage with a complete stranger it seems. In order to make her parents happy, she runs off and marries a handsome guy, that turns out to be a not so very handsome person on the inside. The catch is, even though yes she married the man to get out the house, her parents and a woman warned her to not be with somebody based off looks, “ Tetiyette, no man can be that beautiful.”
The narrator does a great job at creating scenarios that many people who can relate to, and also learn from when it comes to dating people just because they look good, and not taking the time to getting to know the person to see if they’re actually compatible. When it comes to this story I feel like anybody can learn from her mistake. In today’s society a lot of people are going for the people who look good, but aren’t good for them. Tetiyette turned down two potentially great men for her cause they weren’t up to part physically.
When the devil approaches her, she automatically goes with him cause he was the better looking option. He knew exactly how to get her, he wore his gold, and his really nice clothing to Lo her in. Even though Tetiyette won when it came down to his looks, she suddenly started crying for help to her parents after she found out who the Devil really came to be about. “ Oh, Mama! Oh Mama! Bel-air drum! The man to whom you married me, Bel-air drum! Is a terrible Devil!”
When it comes down to it all, the message I received from this story was, get to know somebody based on who they are as whole, not just through their looks, because looks can be deceiving.
