Point of View and Class Ruin in a Narrow Room
In a diary-like scene Maud rebukes Mrs I for ostentatious poverty while Jean reflects on class, dignity, and the value of inner perspective. The narrator recalls a one-room apartment with a single window and small comforts, contrasting outward appearances with inner resilience.
