Abstract
This paper examines the role of a capitalist and patriarchal society on the treatment of marginalized groups, specifically individuals of transgender, through the analysis of Barnes’s Nightwood. Focusing on her use of the character, O’Connor, it suggests Barnes’s declaration that individuals who differ from social norms display beauty and power as a result of their difference. Using the research of Leslie Feinberg, Ed Madden, Jane Marcus, and Laura Veltman, as well as a comparative analysis of T.S. Eliot’s character, Tiresias, from his poem, The Waste Land, this paper argues that Nightwood is a defiant response to social norms and the institutionalization of gender.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
