Mastering CAT Quantitative Aptitude: A Comprehensive Guide

Mastering CAT Quantitative Aptitude: A Comprehensive Guide

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is one of the most competitive and sought-after entrance exams for admission into top business schools in India. The Quantitative Aptitude section of CAT evaluates a candidate’s numerical and problem-solving skills. This section is crucial as it carries a significant weightage in the overall CAT score. Let’s delve into strategies to excel in CAT Quant, followed by insights into practicing CBSE Class 7 Maths online, preparing for bank quant exams, and devising a Railway Test preparation strategy.

Strategies to Excel in CAT Quantitative Aptitude:

Understand the Syllabus: Begin by understanding the CAT Quant syllabus, which covers topics like Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Number System, and Data Interpretation. Having a clear grasp of what’s expected will help you tailor your preparation accordingly.

Conceptual Clarity: Build a strong foundation by mastering the underlying concepts of each topic. CAT questions are designed to test your understanding rather than rote memorization.

Practice Regularly: Regular practice is the key to success in the CAT Quant section. Solve a variety of problems to improve your problem-solving speed and accuracy. Consider using online resources, CAT preparation apps, and previous year’s question papers.

Time Management: Time is of the essence during CAT. Practice solving questions under timed conditions to improve your speed. Learn to allocate time based on question difficulty and stick to your plan during the actual exam.

Mock Tests: Take regular mock tests to simulate the exam environment. Analyze your performance, identify weaknesses, and work on them. Mock tests also help in improving your decision-making skills regarding which questions to attempt and which ones to leave.

Shortcut Techniques: Learn shortcut techniques for calculations, particularly in arithmetic and data interpretation. These techniques can save you valuable time during the exam.

Review and Learn: After solving questions, review both correct and incorrect attempts. Understand where you went wrong and learn from your mistakes.

Vedic Mathematics: Consider learning Vedic Mathematics techniques. They can simplify complex calculations and provide alternative approaches to problem-solving.

Practicing CBSE Class 7 Maths Online:

Online platforms offer a plethora of resources to Practice CBSE Class 7 Maths Online. These resources include interactive lessons, video tutorials, practice quizzes, and even virtual simulations. The advantage of online learning is that it caters to different learning styles and allows students to learn at their own pace. Visual aids and interactive exercises can make understanding mathematical concepts more engaging.

Bank Quant Exam Preparation:

Bank quant exam preparation , like those conducted by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) and State Bank of India (SBI), assess a candidate’s mathematical and analytical abilities. Here’s a preparation strategy:

Know the Exam Pattern: Understand the exam pattern, including the number of sections, types of questions, and marking scheme.

Topic Prioritization: Focus on topics that are frequently asked, such as Number Series, Simplification, Data Interpretation, and Arithmetic.

Practice is Key: Regularly solve previous years’ question papers and mock tests. This will help you become familiar with the types of questions asked and improve your time management skills.

Quantitative Aptitude Books: Invest in reputable quantitative aptitude books authored by experts. These books often provide a comprehensive coverage of the syllabus and include practice questions with varying levels of difficulty.

Online Courses: Enroll in online bank quant preparation courses. They offer structured content, video lectures, and mock tests designed specifically for bank exams.

Railway Test Preparation Strategy:

Railway recruitment exams, like those conducted by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs), have a quantitative aptitude section. Here’s a strategy for effective preparation:

Study Plan: Create a well-structured study plan that covers all relevant topics. Allocate more time to areas where you need improvement.

Practice Numerical Ability: This section includes questions on numerical computation, data interpretation, and problem-solving. Regular practice will enhance your calculation skills and problem-solving techniques.

Speed and Accuracy: Focus on increasing both speed and accuracy. Since these exams are time-bound, you need to strike a balance between solving questions quickly and avoiding mistakes.

Memory-based Practice: Practice memory-based questions from previous years’ exams. This gives you insights into the types of questions frequently asked and helps you adapt your preparation accordingly.

Mock Tests: Take full-length mock tests to simulate the real exam environment. This will help you get comfortable with the exam pattern and manage time effectively.

Stay Updated: Keep yourself updated with the latest exam patterns and syllabus changes introduced by the railway recruitment authorities.

Conclusion

Pleaaaaaaase I need more sukuna and deity!reader!!! The concept is immaculate, it’s scrumptious, it’s delightful!!!! Need more devout worshipper sukuna in my life

YES SIR 🫡

————————— —- ⛩️ ———————————

“Really, is this many shrines necessary?” 

Sukuna thinks your statement is silly, because of course it’s very much necessary. Anything and everything physically possibly dedicated to was necessary. This shrine was as necessary as the dozens of other ones he had put up this week. Many long nights had he stayed up, painstakingly constructing, creating, with all four of his own hands. The many blisters and cuts that adorned his calloused palms a testament to his dedication to the craft. 

The juxtaposition between the harshness of his strikes in battle and the delicate way in which he carefully set up each offering was jarring. You found it odd how such skilled and careful fingers could be the ones responsible for the wasteland of a village you stumbled upon just weeks ago. 

What an odd speciman.

“By the way,” your voice breaks Sukuna out of his trance of concentration, and maroon eyes gaze upon your own, —lines of harsh concentration softening from his face, —“Gods typically don’t accept offerings of human flesh.” What a shock it was a few days ago to all of a sudden be granted the sight of a ripe human corpse, presented humbly as an offering. While it was quite surprising, (and smelly) you couldn’t help but look back on it humorously, almost affectionately. It reminded you of a cat who once gifted dead birds at your doorstep. 

Sukuna huffs. However was he supposed to know gods were apparently above human corpses as offerings? Truly, he was trying his very best— but all this ‘devotion’ stuff was foreign to him. Sukuna was never a man of worship, and as a curse the very impurity of his existence was a spit in the face to any divine entity. Hedonistic lifestyle only takes someone so far, and a devout follower was so far off from his character that his older self would likely look on his current position in disgust. 

And yet, Sukuna simply cannot find it within himself to care. Because being granted your divine presence- let alone your attention- was enough to bring even a filthy beast like him to his knees. 

“Well then,” he asks, not without a sardonic tone, “what kind of offerings are mediocre mortals presenting you with, if not the heads of your enemies?” 

“Rice , fish , sake , meat -“ you give an amused smile, “preferably not of the human kind” 

Sukuna only grunts in response. He could understand the food part. Personally, if he were a higher deity, Sukuna knew he’d want heaps of human meat as an offering. What better gift than another’s life? He thinks any other kind of offering pales in comparison, and human offerings are definitely much lamer than what he could lay at your feet. However, if that was what you wanted, then he would gladly fetch it for you. 

“How… quant.” He says, before turning his attention back to his task 

That afternoon he went hunting, and had Uruame prepare a meal at nighttime. By the time the sun arose, you came back to find a feast grand enough feed a large village, meats of all varieties lavishly laid out, with colorful, lush heaps of vegetables, and enough rice to feed a small family. 

And, (albeit against Sukuna’s strongest desire), not a body in sight. 

——————————————————————

Imagine as a deity you’re so powerful that regular sorcerers and curses are to you like mice are to people, and even someone as powerful and imposing as Sukuna is essentially the equivalent of a slightly larger than average cat 🙌

Flower and Fates

Pairing: Luke Castellan x Reader

Genre: Barista x Florist AU

Word Count: 2.1k || masterlist

Warning: none

The sound of chiming bells from the collar of your cat, Festus, accompanied you as you made your way around your little flower shop with a spray bottle in hand. The soft purring he does as the fluffy ball of cloud jumped onto the windowsill and shoving his head under your hand made it difficult for you to attend to your plants causing you to giggle at his need for attention.

"Festus please! I'll play with you when I'm done here," even as you said that, the cat still wouldn't listen, jumping down now, he rubbed himself against your legs making it hard for you to move now without stumbling over him.

Setting the clear spray bottle on the flower stand, you put your hands on your waist as you looked down at your furry friend, "What is up with you today huh?" your annoyed expression changes to a soft one as you bend down to pick him up, how could you even stay mad at him when he's so cute. "You've never been this clingy before," walking to the main table, you sat down on the chair with Festus happyly snuggling on your lap, purring loudly by the gentle scratching on his head.

"This is an early break for me then," sighing as you looked at the clock on the wall, the time showed [11:47AM]. Today was one of the quieter days in your shop. Only having a couple came in hours before to pick their order for a ceremony, other than that later today you might get a few others. Speaking of orders, you remembered you had to continue the last few bouquets of an order for an anniversary today so the client can pick them up tomorrow but with Festus stopping you from doing your work, you just hoped that this cat would be over his episode soon.

A gentle tap on your shoulder almost startled you if the person who you saw by your side was one of a stranger, but he wasn't a stranger. It was Luke, the cute barista from the coffee shop next door who also happened to be your friend from the first day you had opened your shop and now it's been 3 months of your sweet friendship.

The lovely smile of his instantly got mirrored onto your own face, "Hi, Luke." Remembering that you were stroking your cat on your lap, looking down you saw that he was no longer there making you sigh in relief as you could finally stand up and stretch.

"Are you tired today, [Y/N]?" setting the paper bag filled with your usual pastries for lunch, which the freshly baked aroma was starting to seep through it, Luke pulled a chair closer with his foot to sit across from you, "I've never seen you sleep in the shop before. Also, it's very dangerous to when you're all alone in here someone could've just come in,"

Pulling your lips into a tight line humming to give you time to form an answer, you moved yourself closer to the table, your knees bumped his as you grabbed the paper bag with your name on it,”First of all, it was Festus' fault for not letting me water the flowers today because,” Turning your head to look for said cat, you saw that he was eating his food, unbothered, “someone is clingy today,” raising your voice in Festus’ direction, it made the curly haired boy laugh, amused by your relationship with your cat.

“What?” looking at the boy in front of you with a questioning expression, “It's true! I only got to water not even half of my precious flower babies,” lips pouting, you rolled your eyes at him as he continued to laugh, the melodious sound resonating through your quant shop made your heart flutter. A small smile appeared on your face at the thought of how you liked his laugh so much. Brushing your stray hair behind your ears, you then took out the still warm blueberry scone. Humming in satisfaction, eyes closed as the rich flavors filled your mouth.

“I'll help you water them later,” Calming himself down from his laughing fit, cheeks dusted with pink roses Luke sat up straight and took his own lunch, “Now eat up first.”

💐🥀🌷🌸🌻🌼

Mists of water droplets fell onto the rainbow petals of the flowers in your shop, continuing from the windowsill you paused earlier, the afternoon sun rays was beaming through the window and as Luke turned to ask you a question whether or not the section he was standing at had been watered or not, Luke could see the rays blanketed your figure with a soft golden halo. Reaching over your head to spray the hanging pots, once again the water mists fell around you like sparkles.

It was almost like a secret magical moment Luke was seeing. From the quiet and calm atmosphere, to the soft smile on your face as you took care of your plants and to the enchanting sight he just witnessed, if he didn't make friends with you since day one that you went over to his cafe for breakfast, Luke would've thought you were a fairy selling your magically grown flowers.

Captivated by you, Luke didn't even realize that you had moved away and was standing next to him until he heard your voice, “Hey, I think we're done here.” The same soft smile you gave to the flowers, you were showing it to him too. From the months he knew you, Luke had been observant towards your behavior as you didn't talk very much. Knowing by heart the smile you just gave him was one of that the adoring kind, does that mean-

Oh no, the growing feelings for you were sprouting yet another rose in his heart. Ever since he first thought you were such an endearing girl, the first ever bud grew. Every day he sees you as you opened your shop the same time as him, the little red rose was growing steadily. Day by day the petals were opening, until one day of you forming a friendly bond with him to the point of you being comfortable with each other, that was when all types of flowers were blooming in his heart.

The fear of admitting his feelings out loud made him suppress them, everyday he had been stomping on the delicate flowers so as to not ruin your innocent friendship. If you had seen the massacre he had done in his heart, he bet you would've fainted. But deep down he secretly wished that you would attend to his growing feelings just the same as you had attended to your beautiful flowers.

Sighing to himself, lips jutted out in a not so obvious pout to show his disappointment, Luke set down the spray bottle on the front table and followed you to the back room.

The backroom was your workroom where you prepare for orders, and Luke could see the assortments of flower arrangements on the table. Scanning his eyes through the room, he could see there were about a dozen white flower bouquets in a circular shape, the stalks were wrapped with brown paper with purple ribbons tied to them. On your wide work table, he could see the piles of flowers you used to make the order and right now you were cutting the stalk of a white carnation.

“How many of these do you still need to do?” Picking up a white rose, Luke brought it to his nose and inhaled the fragrance of the flower before twirling it with his fingers

“Hmmm, about four more then I'll have to put them in the boxes for them to pick up tomorrow morning.”

As you worked, Luke leaned himself over the table opposite of you, arms extended to support himself as he watched you staking the variety of white coloured flowers together effortlessly, making them blend in together so beautifully it amazed him by how fast you worked. In the next three minutes you were already covering the green stalks with the brown paper.

“Can you help?” Suddenly stopping as you held the paper's edge in place, you looked up at Luke who raised an eyebrow in question. “Can you please cut the ribbon and tie this for me?” Inclining your head towards the roll of purple ribbon and the scissors beside it.

Quick on his feet, Luke did as you said of cutting the ribbon, from the other times he had helped you to prepare orders from time to time, he knew the exact length to cut, even making the inward arrow head you always made at both ends. Standing beside you now, he wove the ribbon around the bouquet, swiftly moving the ribbon under your hold for you to let go and let him take over. As you were retracting your hands, your fingers brushed over Luke’s hands. Another blooming flower.

“Thank you,” Picking up the made bouquet, you walked to the others and set it down, the back of your fingers brushing the soft petals, “For lunch and for helping me today.” Facing him, you suddenly weren't able to meet his eyes.

As you stood there, feeling the warmth of Luke's presence beside you, you couldn't shake the fluttering feeling in your chest. His kindness and helpfulness never failed to make your heart skip a beat, and today was no exception.

"Of course, [Y/N]," Luke replied with a gentle smile, his eyes soft as he looked at you. "I'm always happy to help, especially when it means spending time with you."

You felt a blush creeping onto your cheeks at his words, but you managed to muster a grateful smile in return. "Well, I appreciate it more than you know," you said softly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear out of habit.

There was a moment of silence between you, filled only with the sound of your own racing heartbeat. You knew you had to say something, to express the feelings that had been growing inside you for months now. But the words caught in your throat, and you found yourself unable to speak.

Just as you were about to give up and retreat into your own thoughts, Festus, your ever-mischievous cat, suddenly darted into the room, his collar jingling with every step. He leaped onto the table, causing a few stray petals to flutter to the ground, and nuzzled his head against your hand affectionately.

You couldn't help but laugh at his antics, grateful for the distraction. But as you glanced up at Luke, you caught a glimpse of something in his eyes—a longing, a vulnerability that mirrored your own.

In that moment, something clicked inside you. You realized that maybe, just maybe, you weren't alone in this after all. Maybe Luke felt the same way you did, but was too afraid to admit it.

Summoning up all your courage, you took a deep breath and met Luke's gaze head-on. "Hey, Luke," you began, your voice barely above a whisper. "I was wondering... um, would you maybe want to go out for dinner sometime? Just the two of us?"

The words hung in the air between you, heavy with anticipation. You held your breath, waiting for his response, unsure of what to expect.

Luke's eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, you feared you had overstepped. But then, a slow smile spread across his face, lighting up his features in a way that made your heart skip a beat.

"I'd love to," he said softly, his voice filled with warmth. "I've been wanting to ask you the same thing, actually."

Relief flooded through you, followed by a rush of excitement. Maybe, just maybe, this could be the start of something wonderful.

But as you exchanged smiles and made plans for your dinner date, neither of you noticed the knowing glint in Festus's eyes. After all, he had his own secrets to keep—the biggest one being that he wasn't just an ordinary cat, but a Cynocephalus, a mythical creature with a knack for bringing people together.

With a satisfied purr, Festus slipped out of the shop and disappeared into the twilight, his mission accomplished. And as he vanished into the shadows, a faint shimmer of magic lingered in the air, a silent testament to the power of love and the mysterious ways of the gods.

As you and Luke walked hand in hand into the evening, the world seemed to sparkle with newfound enchantment, and you couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected twist of fate that had brought you together. Little did you know, your journey was only just beginning, filled with magic, adventure, and the boundless possibilities of love.

"è orco e mangia li garzone"

So I went to look up the etymology of the word "ogre". The first time we find it in this form is in the late 17th century, when Perrault uses it for his fairy tales, but in italian the word "orco" was already in use for centuries. Ariosto had an episode in the 17th and 18th canti, where the king Norandino and his wife Lucina must escape an orco, in a manner similar to Odysseus and Polyphemus.

But the earliest mention of the term (that I could find) comes from the late 13th century, from the only known sonet of senese Poet Jacomo "Granfione" de' Tolomei. This parodic sonet uses fairy tale characters like ogres, witches and talking animals to make fun of Granfione's contemporaries, at the expense of their sex lives.

I did try to post it here with a translation from yours truly.

Warning: period typical homophobia

Original (volgare toscano):

Le favole, compar, ch'om dice tante, Son ver per cert' e nessun le contenda: Ch'anticamente fûr orchi e gigante E streghe, che andavan en tregenda.

E parlavan le bestie tutte quante Secondo Isòpo conta en so' leggenda; Ed ancor oggi viene 'l semegliante: E s' i' nol provo, vo' che l'om me penda.

Ser Lici è orco e mangia li garzone, E 'l Muscia strega, ch'è fatto, d'om, gatta, E va di notte e poppa le persone.

Guglielmo de Bediera è per ragione Gigante, che n'è nata la sua schiatta; Ser Benecasa parla, ed è montone.

And here's my translation:

The tales/fables, pal, that men tell a lot,

Are surely true and no one can contend:

That in ancient times there were ogres and giants

And witches, that went to sabbaths

And all beasts talked

As Aesop tells in his legend

And still today similar things happen

And if I don't prove it, may I be hanged.

Sir Lici is an ogre and eats boys,

And Muscia is a witch, and turns, from man to cat,

And goes out at night and sucks off people.

Guglielmo de Bediera is for good reason

Giant, for thus his family was born;

Sir Benecasa talks, and is a ram.

And now for some more notes: the Granfione uses the term "favola", fable, since a distinction between them and fairy tales hadn't yet been made, and are to this day often used interchangebly. With the mention of child-eating ogres, great giants and night-wandering witches, he is referring to folk tales, while with the talking animals he directly references Aesop's famous fables.

Now he turns to taking jabs at his contemporaries from Siena, all except for one completely unknown to us (which takes away from the poem's strength but anyway). Calling Sir Licci an ogre for eating boys seems to be referring to him going after young men (and with a certain voracity it would seem). Muscia get's also accused of sodomy, though he's a different case: for him, we might know who it actually is, the senese poet Nicola Muscia da Siena, who wrote three poems, one mocking the failed pilgrimage of Guido Cavalcanti, and two "dreams" (nice scenarios imagined for a loved one) about a certain Lano (perhaps Lano da Siena, whom Dante meets in the 13th canto of the Inferno?). The "turning into a cat" is also a pun: we know from Franco Sacchetti's "Trecentonovelle" (from the 187th novella) that in Tuscany, "Muscia" was a dialectal term meaning "kitty". Calling Guglielmo de Bediera a giant could be a jab at his (actually diminutive) size. Finally sir Benecasa seems to have un unfaithful spouse, as he's called a ram (-> "cornuto"/horned->a cuckold)

Funny how we have gotten a fairy tale parody centuries before the main written-down fairy tale texts.

For the notes I relied on Mario Marti's "Poeti giocosi del tempo di Dante" (playful poets from Dante's time), the articles from the Treccani "Dizionario biografico degli italiani" (biographical dictionary of italians), and also some from Giovanni Dall'Orto's blog on gay history and culture (here)

@adarkrainbow this is the sonet I mentioned

[melting-mutants-apocalypse-au]

Traduction en français de ce que l'on a écrit sur la fiche :

Miles Tails Prower : Statut : En vie et non infecté - Fait des recherches pour un traitement capable de soigner les personnes mutantes - Est aveugle de l'œil gauche - Il a perdu son bras droit et une de ses queues après un combat contre deux mutants ayant fusionné Santé Mentale : 1/5 Santé Physique : 4/5 Force/Pouvoir : 1/5

Tails a combattu auprès de Sonic jusqu'à la disparition de ce dernier et la révélation que leurs "ennemis" étaient en faite des innocents dont les corps mélangés obéissaient comme des robots au roi Mew the Cat.

Cela lui rongea l'esprit. Il devint prêt à tout pour stopper ce qui était devenu une véritable apocalypse et protéger ses amis. Au point de les enfermer eux et lui même dans un bunker souterrain géant, qu'ils transformèrent ensemble en base sécurisée et laboratoire afin de comprendre ce qui se passait avec les corps de leurs camarades.

Ce fut en observant une personne qui dont le corps commençait littéralement à fondre comme de la cire et en l'examinant qu'il compris quel était le pouvoir de Mew : Celui d'accélérer la division des cellules du corps, causant à force une mutation des cellules.

Cette mutation faisait que le corps entier fondait peu à peu, et instinctivement pour trouver de la stabilité, les personnes atteintes de cette mutation allaient vers les autres personnes pour s'appuyer dessus. Malheureusement, quand deux personnes mutantes s'appuyaient l'une sur l'autre, un processus de fusion des corps se faisait.

C'est comme mélanger du slime bleu dans du slime rose : les slimes peuvent se mélanger pour donner un slime violet.

Mais dans le cas des malades, ce processus est plutôt long, faisant que dès que Tails ou ses amis trouvaient un mutant seul, pas encore en fusion avec un autres, ils l'isolaient dans une chambre du Bunker afin de s'occuper de lui le temps de trouver quelque chose pour inverser ou corriger la mutation.

Tails s'est donné pour mission de trouver le traitement qui permettrait à tout ces innocents d'être sauvés. Mais il reste assez pessimiste pour ceux ayant déjà commencé à fusionné avec d'autre, ne sachant pas s'il arriverait à trouver un moyen de les "défusionner". Quant aux "Fullmelt", les mutants ayant complètement fusionnés ensemble (le fameux slime violet), pour lui c'est sans espoir étant donné que leur organes ont certainement fusionnés aussi, et qu'ils n'ont plus aucune conscience de ce qu'ils font.

Il est aidé par Amy dans ses recherches, et cette dernière est aussi devenue sa confidente, à qui il exprime tout ce qui le tracasse, tout le stress, la pression et le poids qui lui pèse sur les épaules de trouver ce remède, et sa peur terrible de ne plus jamais revoir Sonic.

[writers-in-moominvalley]

Do tell me if there is an actual answer to this because I couldn't find such a thing myself or atleast stumble across it like I did with other characters but I do really wonder where Snorkmaiden's character came from.

In a world where much of the cast came from inspiration drawn upon Tove's own life, particular family or partners or memories (Signe is Moominmamma, Viktor is Moominpappa, Tove is vaguely Moomintroll, Atos is both Muskrat and Snufkin [and apparently Lars is Snufkin too?], Tove and Vivica are Thingumy and Bob, Tuulikki is Too-Ticky, Muddler is inspired by Tove's memories of playing with her aunt's buttons, Joxter and the Silk-Monkey are based on Tove's cat) Snorkmaiden feels like a very strange outlier amid all of this despite being an important character in the books and a core family member in the comics.

I suppose Sniff's lack of clear inspiration is something I wonder about too but Snorkmaiden grew into something more nuanced as Sniff became pushed into the background as the original series went on (in the comics), she feels she should be someone or something in Tove's life but I can't tell who or what.

I was in the midst of doing a book report on this realist-era novel called Madame Bovary and I discovered how similar the titular Emma Bovary is to Snorkmaiden's comic characterization; A woman who was bound by the small mundanity of her real life that so contradict her romantic idealism which she absorbed from books, becoming so wretchedly displeased and bored of her milk-toast and simple-minded first love and husband (who married her mostly because of her beauty and a forbidden infatuation and not really anything else) that she can't help but chase after men who she finds more stimulating and exciting and rich, constantly yearning for the romance of the upper class and growing resentful of the quant country life she's made to live in and so she spends lavishly, creating a devastating dept that would ultimately pull her hand to a painful suicide (well, maybe not that last part, but still). And there are arguable parallels between Moominpappa and Emma's husband's father, as he was surprisingly similar to Emma in his lavish spending and scorned his son for how boring he is.

Of course, it isn't a one-to-one comparison persé due to the personal circumstances of their characters, but the strong parallels that Snorkmaiden grew into as a character in the comics is still incredibly striking. It makes me believe she was merely a female love interest tacked on for the male protagonist - simply because that's how adventure stories usually go - who grew into a satire of such a trope, a character confounded by a Bovarism and romantic excitement she wants to relive again and again when things become too stale for her.

But, of course, this is just a theory based on a thought I had while trying to do a book report for my language studies class, I could be completely completely wrong and the answer is that she's based on some other girlfriend Tove had, who knows.
