[@ellaczeiner3974]

I think that Eloise and Lady Danbury have the same end goal of being successful and respected but have very different ways they go about it. Lady Danbury wants people to respect her by making herself terrifying. Eloise wants people to respect her for her mind and ideas. Edit: Eloise wants success through herself but Lady Danbury wants it through status and marriage. I feel like that's the most fundamental difference between them because of how opposed to marriage Eloise is.
