Character Role Analysis

Goldfinger and Pussy Galore

Goldfinger and Pussy Galore both enter the scene as bad guys working together on a single plan—Operation Grand Slam. Both want personal wealth—Pussy so she can have her own private island, Goldfinger so he can have more and more wealth. From there, the two continue diverging. Goldfinger becomes more evil, killing people with nerve gas.

But Pussy goes to the good side: she ends up tricking Goldfinger and helping Bond bring the smuggler down. It's heavily suggested that falling in love with Bond made Pussy see the light. If Bond had seduced Goldfinger instead (hey, it was the free-loving 60s), could the whole Operation have been called off even sooner?
