She just needs *everyone* to know. Not just the duke. They were playing lovers quite well but women wer still after him thinking that he didn't love Adele. She don't wanna go thru another Susan or another maid. She wants every woman to know their place. Therefore, she needs the duke to chase after her.
any other time, I would be right there with you. but in this instance where Adele doesn't know where he stands w/ Felix, Felix finally coming to terms with feeling romantic love after the horrible examples & the society they live in being ruled by outward appearances, class status & whatnot. (Like Susan really pushed for having a higher position so that she could marry Felix among other reasons instead & people would have accepted it because no one would outrank her). There needs to be some type of public scene. That's just my opinion though!
Is it just me or I feel really annoyed about Adelaide leaving Felix all alone just to make him understand he needs Adelaide,to see if he loves her. I'm sorry but Adelaide I liked you at first but now you got me annoyed even if you are the main protagonist. Felix is a kind man but he is scared to say those words "Love". Adelaide is trying to hard with this shit you know he loves you why do you need more proves. He kissed you, he showed you how much he cares about you and you like everytime he wants to express his love to you, you just cut him off and then twist his words. "I know you don't love me", "Take your time and see if you really love me" like B0i calm your ass down. This girl is overeacting to much(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
