Part 4/5:
The overall tone of the critique is highly critical, viewing Carol as a figure of pretension and superficiality. Her actions are portrayed as lacking genuine dignity and instead being performative, designed to garner attention or elevate her social status rather than reflect authentic emotion. The description of her antics as "Camp" suggests that her displays are more suited to theatrical performance than respectful mourning, contributing to a perception of her as somewhat superficial and self-absorbed.
