The reader is generally given a particular direction to follow in a story, and this is especially true with Madame Ratignolle. Most of the characters are taken away with her "embodiment of every womanly grace and charm" (Chopin, page 10) and it even seems as Edna herself is a victim to her façade - despite herself not being maternal. But when the novel describes Madame Ratignolle's condition, not only does it surround the term in quotation, but the novel describes her busy spell as "if there was not a little imagination responsible for its origin, for the rose tint had never faded from her friends face." (Chopin, page 16). Furthermore, when holding her child, the narrator says "everyone well knew, the doctor had forbidden her to lift so much as a pin!" making her ailment seem almost fabricated and illegitament. This shows the reader a side of Adèle that most of the characters in the book wouldn't dare seem to dinstiguinsh from such a purely Creole mother. It seems like Adèle is wanting people to believe her so fragile and dainty because they perhaps would look at her in a somber light with the death of her husband; but as the narrator describes and Robert has experiance (in their "affair") this isn't exactly so.
The picture represent the direction the creator wants you to see. It depicts Kylo Ren as immature and comically committed to the First Order.
First of all, I love your picture. Also, I never gave much thought about Madam Ratignolle in that perspective. I just assumed that she was just some woman (no offense Ratignolle) that was there. Turns out she's really a liar.
