		Van Vechten's intertextual analogy suggests that if the Parcæ's gaze is that which threatens the ostensibly linear path towards the attainment of a certain kind of white male subjectivity, then the Creeper's roaming in search of women is that which threatens to derail the attainment of fl middle-class male subjectivity.
		Van Vechten appears to capitalize on sadly familiar cultural narratives attempting to limit fl male options to inaction and/or violence, and his attempt to analogize white male transcendence with fl male subjectivity implodes into the dull predictability of a dualistic racial determinism.
		As Van Vechten imagines her, Ella is a creature of "artifice" who marks her aging white body with a tattoo in an attempt to achieve a transgressive subjectivity and thus perhaps prolong her viability as a female commodity.
