The only dumb thing she did is consult ONE doctor. A doctor tells you "you will die, there's no cure" and you trust them blindly? It's dumb. I know she did not have a will to live (at first), but it's still dumb. Lastly, if she really loved Asrahan, after finding out that he really loves her (he's not gonna leave her after three months) couldn't she CONSULT ANOTHER DOCTOR AND SEE IF THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS???? She chose to be silent about her illness, and that's okay because it was "incurable", but couldn't she consult another doctor if she stopped having symptoms(I don't think she secretly went to a doctor check up if wasn't having any symptoms at the start of the story)
actually she didnt have to consult anyone else anyways bc she did have the incurable disease??? doha just cured her secretly that was the whole point like when she goes back to the doctor later the only reason he thinks he must have misdiagnosed her is bc only someone w enough holy power like the pope would’ve been able to cure her, but she didn’t know doha was a pope candidate and had been fixing the illness the entire time
did you forget that she literally had the incurable disease? when that doctor diagnosed her & told her how much longer she had to live they weren’t wrong. she was going to die in 3 months until doha started to treat her in secret. & it didn’t matter if she were to go to any other doctor because they still would have said the same as the first one. it’s not like that doctor misdiagnosed her they were competent & knew what they were doing.
Some of you either only look at the pretty pictures or just skim the story and it shows.
Lariette (FL) ran away cause she fell in love with Asrahan (ML) because she was terminally ill and didn't want to make the one person she loves the most SEE HER EXPLODING infront of him or finding her mangled corpse after returning from war. She would have died the same way her brother died which made her mother loose her mind - that's how gruesome it was. That's why she wanted to spare him the pain of seeing that and made herself the villain.
I also hate that people say she was oblivious towards Doha - she was literally confined in her house and Doha was her first friend ever. He lied to her about who he was, also ommited the truth of healing her, he immediately had known what was ailing her, healed her but didn't tell her anything. She only saw him as a person who extended her life just a little bit and helped her not have any symptoms of an awfully painful disease. Obviously she would've trusted him immensely. She doesn't know as much as us - the readers.
She's extremely smart and I really like that's she's bold And not just a damsel in distress.
She's a really good well rounded character with flaws, who made a mistake but tries her hardest to fix it.
Read the story once more and for real this time that maybe you'll see the whole picture
