Quote #10
All at once she felt weak, and the misery of her childhood, the disappointment of her first love, her nephew's departure, the death of Virginie, all swept over her like a wave, rising into her throat, choking her. (4. 24)
It might seem like Félicité is just a simpleton who doesn't really think about the past. But the moment before she sends Loulou off to the taxidermist shows that she actually does carry all of that disappointment and pain with her. She really is a suffering servant, but she suffers in silence.
