I do like thinking about the Ascarts and Claes as the best, healthiest families in noble standing - which makes it sadder that in FL they are absolutely in terrible shape. The Claes, of course, are falling apart but Nicol and Sophia are co-dependent and untrusting in FL too. I mean they even hint that there's incest between them....
>I think maybe Katarina is not so confident in herself and fears that the narrative of the game will play against her, that she is not strong enough to avoid becoming what she fears. I don't think she's stupid either, I just think it's hard for her to see that all the good things she's done have already taken root, in her and in others, and that she has a very good foundation for a beautiful life.
Yes, exactly! I agree with absolutely everything here. Love that phrasing - "the narrative of the game will play against her".
