Lucifer in a Nutshell
Summary of "The Devil Wears Prada"
- badly dressed, tacky young woman introduces herself as the "average" five
foot eleven inch, 120 pound woman who miraculously lands an undeserved
job as a personal assistant at a fashion magazine, immediately making every
other woman reading her story roll their eyes
- said young woman complains endlessly about her miserable life of wearing
designer clothes, attending gala society parties, the inhumane rule of not
being able to smoke or make personal telephone calls during business hours,
and her boss's crass insistence that she do her job without copping an
attitude
- said young woman somehow manages to retain her job despite looking down
on all of her colleagues and willfully sabotaging company spending records
- young woman fails to look human because she reacts unrealistically to her
own problems, and those of her cardboard cutout plot-point friends
- young woman somehow attracts a world famous, handsome author despite
her failure to appear attractive to her merely locally famous elementary
school teacher boyfriend.
- young woman finally tells off boss
- young woman somehow lands job at another magazine as a writer, despite
having never demonstrated any talent to her audience
- everything comes up roses for young woman
- and then, nobody cared
