About This Quote

The femme fatale is a figure in poetry, film, and other arts that is seductively dangerous. She's both desirable and dangerous. As she walks the streets she's often described as having "dangerous eyes." She can be warm, but there's always something in the background, waiting to make her heart race. She's a seductress without being overtly sexual. Rather, she knows how to pull the heartstrings while simultaneously making the reader feel uncomfortable.
