Which is a perfect reason to throw rocks at any beautiful girls playing with a
kitty cat, dontcha think? The impenetrable glass...when somethings so
beautiful it can't exist anymore cuz if it did, for even ten more seconds,
someone might saw "Oh how cute" and flush a thousand shreds down a toilet.

But throwing the rock at Charlotte didn't make her stop existing. If we're
going to follow this glass metaphor, shattering the image he has of her only
makes her more accessible. It removes the wall between them. The fact that
throwing the rock damages her somewhat is what facilitates her becoming
acessible. I'm not saying this is "right"--I'm saying it's where you go if you
follow the idea of why Seymour "sees more glass"...
