The adjective ‘natural’ shows how privileged she has been her entire life and how ungrateful she is of it. This makes the readers understand her character and background better.


The writer then goes on to describe her fully ‘furnished flat’ in which she had to live. This is an alliteration that proves that even though she doesn’t appreciate it she does have a lot more that many people. The way the writer described the flat as ‘unendurable/degrading’ to her even after it coming with furniture and accommodations further proves her unappreciativeness and shows how spoiled she is.


The overall effect of the paragraph describes the characters' estrangement towards the life she was born into and her ambitions of a lavish and prosperous life. The writer begins by describing luxuries as her ‘natural birthright’. This phrase shows that to her, her existence was an error of destiny. This gives the impression that she had high expectations and aspirations from life and felt that she was born for the luxuries of the world. The writer then goes on to describe her fully ‘furnished flat’ using an alliteration. This proves that even though she isn't completely underprivileged, she had high aspirations from life and felt like she didn't belong. Lastly, the use of rule of three using negative adjectives to describe the flat's furniture as ‘squalid’, ‘shabby’ and ‘hideous’ further emphasize her mental suffering and discontentment from life making the reader feel sympathetic towards her.
