This girl really had to go through a /traumatic/ childbirth. That sonofabitch suitor manipulated her into thinking her husband is only using her for her status; her father, father-in-law, and sister died while her husband, the only one who she could really only depend on was gone at war, not knowing if he would retuen alive.
She TRIED to love her baby, but because she felt like its mother's duty to love her baby, it only made her resent it even more. Her history with "duty" is the source of her vices. It was duty that made her have to get married at that age, duty to bear a child, and duty to be a filial daughter and not shame the family name. In the end all of her bottled up and unknown resentment manifested itself onto her child.
Its a given that we know that her child made her feel shackled because she couldn lt go to parties in order to take care of him, but the parties held a significant meaning to her too. She felt loved and free: things she thought she didnt have.
