Judy is the self centered rich girl (also mean girl) in the story. She has everything she could ever want, including power...which she uses to subdue, humiliate, and oppress those around her. Unfortunately, her beauty fades, and her liveliness too, and all that is left is a bitter woman who has not experienced true happiness in her entire life. The point, as made by the author, is that emptiness can be the ultimate destination if the only path followed is greed, ambition, and wealth.
