Self image is basically the way you look at yourself. Its kind of how you think about yourself. An example in the play is Ruth and Beatrice don't think they look good, so they try to doll themselves up for other people. In the play Beatrice doesn't want to go to the science fair final because she says she has nothing to wear and won't look good. Another example is when Ruth tells Tillie she needs to take the bow out of her hair cause she'll be laughed off the stage. She is feeling insecure for Tillie and also herself cause she has gotten dolled up in this scene too.
