“‘that’s all right it’s a queer-acting drug. A drop or two more, and off you go-the doctors don’t know why’” (Wharton 234). With this comment Edith Wharton shows how much medicine Lily is taking to fall to sleep. This also shows how unhappy and worried she has become. Lily has been forced to work in a hat shop living a dull life. This she hates and tries to fight even when she is poor by trying to live in as nice of a hotel she can afford. I found a motif in the book continued mention of Greek myth and the furies.
