I wonder if she is the kind of person who loves esteem much more than direct sensations. For example, I don't remember her ever mentioning enjoying food or the way a fabric feels. But she does often think how a beautiful environment enhances how others would perceive her. All of her prospects in the book would have had serious downsides socially or personality-wise, and I'm not sure sensual experience matters much in her accounting.

Thank you for the spoiler warning! You indeed have at least one reader who cares about 120-year-old spoilers. Bookmarking this post to read once I've finished the book.

(I believe this is an acceptable excuse for the sin of commenting on posts one hasn't read.)
