GR: Well said! Written by Cheryl (8/26/2003 11:56 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: Wallowing in sensibility, penned by Barbara

] No, there is no justification for Willoughby's callous treatment of her, but Marianne amplified the situation by every possible method because she wanted to behave that way.

Yes. This is a conscience choice on Marianne's part. She chooses to be out of control and revels in it, thinking others not as deep or sensitive than herself.

Willoughby treats her poorly, but Marianne chooses to wallow in it, feeding and nursing her grief knowingly.
