Summary

This quote suggests that in a society where individuals are reduced to mere cogs within a larger machine, their personal growth and development are hindered. When people are treated as interchangeable entities with no voice or agency, they are denied the opportunity to discover and cultivate their true selves. Instead, they become enmeshed in the workings of a homogeneous system, stifling their potential as unique human beings. This quote underscores the importance of recognizing and valuing individuality in order to foster a more fulfilling and empowered society.

You feel, I suppose, that, in losing Isabella, you lose half yourself: you feel a void in your heart which nothing else can occupy.? Society is becoming irksome; and as for the amusements in which you were wont to share at Bath, the very idea of which without her is abhorrent.?
