Re: How likable is the narrator?
So, in my opinion, the reason why Lady Sougyon was such an important character and why her attitude is acceptable is because whether you were an aristocrat or someone dying of hunger, the occupation by Japan sucked for everybody. Just as much, the strict cultural traditions also sucked for everyone, and probably actually more so for those in higher aristocratic positions because the elites are meant to lead and be an example for the nation. A marital scandal would be more acceptable for someone of a lower social status because they don't have the entire country looking up to them ready to shame their every move.
