Because Nerrien had low status, Timothy treated her as if she had very high status. How come? | ||
| Balin (Balin)
New member Username: Balin Post Number: 10438 Registered: 4-2010 |
Status - income? Social? Racial? Did Timothy treat her this way with good intent? Malicious intent? | ||

Did Timothy know that she had low status? Is it relevant what status he had? High? Low? Time and/or location relevant? Nerrien = H/A/F? Timothy = H/A/M? Are their genders relevant? Is their relationship relevant? Did this happen once, i.e. in a special situation? Or did he generally treat her that way? | ||

RECAP: Add this to the puzzle statement: Timothy is an academic go-getter: an up-and-coming assistant professor who is coming up for tenure. Nerrien is a low-status but tenured professor in his department. Timothy treats Nerrien in a way you're supposed to treat the occupant of a particular high-status role, and Nerrien resents this treatment. HINT: FIND OUT THE ROLE. | ||

Technically, she's: Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. And you should treat Her Majesty very respectfully, whether she's in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, one of the Commonwealth Realms, Overseas Territories, or elsewhere not covered therein. :-D | ||

Is it any particular, specific treatment restricted to queen of England? Could it apply to other royalties as well? The treating concerns saying something? Or rather gestures? Is it bowing? Kissing hand? | ||

Knowing that low status is contagious, Timothy wants to avoid her, but knowing that she will be voting on his tenure, he doesn't want to antagonize her. So he replies when she speaks to him, but he never initiates a conversation with her. This makes her say, "He thinks I'm Queen Elizabeth," since you're not supposed to speak to the Queen until she speaks to you. My new puzzle will be speaking to you at the bottom of this page. |
