When she later meets her friends, including the Countess Olga Tcherny, their conversation delves into themes of beauty, independence, and the social expectations placed on wealthy women. The narrative highlights Hermia's struggle between embracing her desires and conforming to societal pressures, making it clear that her dynamic with Markham will play a significant role in her journey of self-discovery and challenge the conventions of her world.
