<span>s a child, Dede is always smiling, trying to please. She is intelligent, inevitability and from a young age her father depends on her to "help with the books". Dede volunteers to stay behind with her parents so her sisters can go to boarding school (Chapter 1). Though she is attracted to the rebel Lio, Dede is silent about her desires and loses him to her sister Minerva. In a furtive attempt to assert herself, Dede burns Lio's letter asking Minerva to flee the country with him, but she cannot allow herself to the inevitability of the life expected of her. She marries her domineering childhood sweetheart Jaimito, and finds herself "already beginning to compromise with the man" even before they are wed. Dede knows that "if she...(thinks) long and hard about what (is) right and wrong", she would join her sisters in revolution, but she does not because her husband forbids it (Chapter 5).Dede finds her voice only after her sisters' deaths.

Both authors refer to different levels of human needs. Remember that Maslow represented them in a pyramid named "Maslow Hierarchy of Needs". As you know, in a pyramidal representation, you need to fulfill the levels from the bottom to the top. In this case, by completing the levels, a human can achieve self-actualization. Here Maslow refers to the lowest level or the physiological needs (air, water, food, shelter, sleep, clothing, reproduction), without these, a human wont be able to focus on other aspects of his life, as he needs these to survive. When having an empty stomach, the only thing you can think of is eating and you will put all you efford into getting food.
Dostoevsky says that although someone can fulfill his basic needs and climb trough this pyramid, without some goals in his life, the human would feel empty. This is what is expressed when people say "money doesn't buy happiness". Humans need something to live for as we know we are finite and our existense will come to an end.
