She seems to take every hardship in life, from losing her fortune to seeing her husband abandon their family to fight in the Civil War, with blind, smiling acceptance: in a way, she represents the very mindless, simpering wife she advocates against, silently abiding by her husband's decisions. She realizes that both the war (reasons for it) and her husband are flawed.
