** Over the course of the story, it's made abundantly clear that Alice's misery is ''not'' caused by her beauty; rather, it's caused by the blatant disrespect of the men (who feel [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to her]] because they find her attractive) and the cruelty of the women (who act out of envy) surrounding her. Hiding her appearance in order to escape her poor treatment only makes Alice even ''more'' miserable since it's the only way that people will be civil to her.
