Is this what leads to her death/possible suicide?

I also feel like turning 16 is a big event, and typically symbolizes the "coming of age"
but for Lydia, she probably feels that she should be more independent, but is still tied down to her family and wants to keep Nath tied down with her]]> 2022-01-11 16:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cjconlon/ksf9k26b7pcb92e1/wish/1986413193 https://padlet.com/cjconlon/ksf9k26b7pcb92e1/wish/1986413425 I notice that Ng consistently chooses to create this association between Lydia and Louisa through James' actions]]> 2022-01-11 16:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cjconlon/ksf9k26b7pcb92e1/wish/1986413425 https://padlet.com/cjconlon/ksf9k26b7pcb92e1/wish/1986413485 I was very angry at James in this chapter.
