At the start of the narrative, Lucia is depicted at her writing desk, musing on her solitude while expressing her feelings towards a friend who
has abandoned her. Through a heartfelt letter, she reveals her inner turmoil and reflections on pride and vulnerability, highlighting her disdain for the superficialities of social class. The segment presents a vivid tableau of her life, contrasting her longing for genuine connection with the rigid expectations of her surroundings, all set against a backdrop of aspirational wealth and industrialism.
