She does not appear to know what she wants, instead just amusing herself constantly. For Lenore, her relationships are what she does to pass the time. While Lenore has an interest in Humphrey and James, neither of them are likely to result in happy relationships. It seems that this is part of the reason she is interested in them, despite neither relationship having a future. For Lenore, happiness is not something she is really seeking. If she achieved happiness, she would have nothing to occupy her life with. For this reason, she pursues relationships as a kind of entertainment to add interest to her dull and meaningless life.
The style also has a writing style that shows Pym's view of Lenore and women like her. It is a comic novel, not in a way where it is obviously funny, but in a way where Pym is quietly poking fun at the characters. There is a wit and an irony present in the novel that creates a comic effect. Lenore also comes across...
In this way, the novel is showing the empty lives of Lenore and women like her. The writing style also does not take itself too seriously. It is easy to read about Lenore and see her empty life, but as a reader, her life comes across as amusing, rather than sad. This makes it an entertaining novel to read.
Overall, the novel is not interesting in terms of what happens in the novel. The love triangle continues, but there are no major events to make it fascinating. The thing that makes the novel a good read, is the way Pym manages to show Lenore's life in a humorous way. This humor drives the novel and makes it entertaining. At the same time, it shows the emptiness of Lenore's life and raises questions about her life and why she chooses to act as she does. By doing this, the novel becomes more than a love story and becomes about the life of older women of the society.
