No jokes, I don't think MM sees how mentally ill and disturbed she is. She's draining to her husband and even her maids sometimes don't agree with the thing she's doing. They're starting to notice her strange behavior about hiding pregnancy from JN, etc
When she coldly scorns JN to give the perfume he had just bought her to LOM, I was pretty shocked. He bought it for her, but her jealousy or illness whatever pushed JN away. What wife does that and later blames the hubby that he bought it for someone else?? Only mentally ill people would be capable of that.
Also, I don't think she sees that she's passively abusing JN's feelings more than he's ever done anything wrong to her. It's so hard to please someone like her. If I were JN, and considered that 1600s era I would have pulled out my whip and whip her ass a few times!!!! Lol!!! That's why I'm saying JN is seriously too kind, too patient with her. My whip would have flew across her face multiple times if I were the man!! Lol
and it's true, men at that time were more proned to use physical violence, more abusive, authoritative and sexist but since JN is educated and a liberal thinker, he was so kind and open-minded with her, never judging her negatively despite her scornful attitude. If MM had been married to other man and acted like that, I don't think her face would have lasted on the table. I'm just being realistic with that time period! Men did not give shit to women! But JN is a GOD of modern thinkers, hahahaha so he didn't need to use abuse on anyone. 555
I honestly haven't seen any signs of MM showing JN she loves him. But do give me a pointer if I did miss out on that bc I'm so consumed with her scornness and cold shoulder, I haven't seen her love for him. Willing to get pointers of her love.
