Please, explain this sentence to me: " When the Freudian doctrine of complexes and inhibitions came in, younger members of the f

amily, such as Violet, given to pastels, Christopher, inclining to the stage, and Maud Dartie, nothing if not daring, would speculate on what had happened to Aunt Hester before she was as she was", especially this part: "Violet, given to pastels, Christopher, inclining to the stage". What did author really want to say about Violet and Christopher? It's from Galsworthy's novel "Hester’s Little Tour". This phrase sounds extremely out of place to me. Why would he talk about their personal treats in a sentence dedicated to a strangeness of Hester?
I'm a non-native English speaker, so the more detailed your explanation will be, the better. Thanks in advance!

Hello there!

<span>"Violet, given to pastels," = Violet likes to paint or is a painter.
"Christopher, inclining to the stage" = Christopher likes to be on the stage or is an actor. 
I believe this is what the author was saying about Christopher and Violet.

Hope I helped!</span>

Pastels are drawings, and I believe Aunt Hester has something to do with the drawing. 
To answer "what did author really want to say about Violet and Chris", i would say that Violet is trying to draw Chris (violet, given to pastels literally means drawing, while Chris is the person Violet is drawing).
But im not sure, but i think that Aunt Hester wants Violet to draw Chris, or she is just watching them.


hope this helps

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: Too much empathy impedes proper social functioning and causes increased stress levels.

Explanation:

Empathy is a good attribute as it shows a person is sensitive to those around him and can recognize someone else is going through pain. An empath is able to sense another person's pain and could step in if within his power.

Some however, are hyper-empaths. This condition is characterized by a person loosing themselves in the suffering of others, feeling guilty for the suffering even though the cause had nothing to do with them. This causes them to function less properly socially and could even be breeding a mental breakdown.

Too much empathy simply punishes two parties for the suffering of one person and is of no benefit to both parties involved.
