“Not exactly a virtue.”
Siena RossoAnthony BridgertonS1 · E5 · 00:19:52
What it sounds like
Having a reputation is not necessarily a good quality.
What it really means
“Your reputation may precede you, but that does not make you admirable; it may be a mark against you.”
Said today
“Being famous for something doesn’t mean it’s something to be proud of.”
What was happening
Anthony says his reputation precedes him after Siena recognizes him, and he treats that as a way to get her attention. Her reply punctures his confidence by suggesting his reputation is no virtue at all.
