DOug:

I think she is deeply troubled -- one would have to be in order to retreat into so false a representation of humanity as she has.

And if she were to commit suicide, because at some point she cracked the window just enough to get a peek at what she hadf been actually doing these last many years, I would be sorry but I would not be surprised.

However, I do not think it is likely to happen while the heat of battle is upon her, and therefore predict she will fade out into a very bitter and old person, unheard of by the general public, and (I expect) quite unhappy with herself.

A different sort of death, possibly.
