This Esquire article metaphorically takes the reader deeper into the mind of Megan Fox than any film or photo shoot has. It expresses how Fox, ironically, has much more to her than meets the eye. It is common knowledge that many celebrities are completely different than their on-screen personae. This article is a testament to that statement.
The horse Fox is riding, Bandit, exists as a metaphor for the struggles in her life. She needs to give the things which bother her "a command" and not be timid with them. Everything, from the paparazzi to her breakup with her boyfriend, threatens to take her sanity. This article follows that internal struggle.
What I like best about this article is the way it shows Fox's frailty without making her seem weak. To be human is to struggle with life and its many challenges, but struggling doesn't make a person weak. Fox's issues are expressed as legitimate problems that every reader understand. From this is gained a bit of respect from readers who possibly only see the young actress as a sex symbol and object of lust.
If you knew nothing about Fox before this article, you would leave knowing little about her. You wouldn't know where she grew up, her favorite color, or her favorite song. However, you would understand her on a deeper level, which is much more valuable information.
