The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Lesser Bourgeoisie by Honore de Balzac: he compelled her to play the part of Liberty; and the poor unfortunate

young men and hastened to her chamber.
"Ah! monsieur, why did you tell her that?" cried Felix, struck to the

indifference, cast upon him. She fancied herself transformed into a
goddess of Reason.
"Why not? What were you talking about?" asked Theodose.
