Jane: I have read your book, and disapprove.
Lefroy: Of course you do. But of what? The scenes? Characters? The prose?
Jane: No. All good.
Lefroy: The morality?
Jane: Flawed.
Lefroy: Of course it is. But why? Vice leads to difficulty, virtue to reward; bad characters come to bad ends.
Jane: Exactly. But, in life, bad characters often thrive. Take yourself. And a novel must show how the world truly is, how characters genuinely think, how events actually occur—a novel should, somehow, reveal the true sources of our actions.
