You know, in that era, ladylike or ladyhood were all criteria for judging a girl, and these criteria were composed of some restraining codes of conduct: you must wear white gloves when dancing, and you can’t run on the street or see boys. Nod your head and lower your eyebrows and so on. These are all oppressive courtesy, which shows that the main social perception and positioning of women is to maintain a family. The kind of publicity of jo runs counter to the mainstream norms, so it will not be liked by mainstream boys, so it is destined to be blocked and feel lonely when it grows up.
Laurie is a kind of temperament for Jo is a place of release, but not a source of inspiration. The professor is.
To see how happy Dao Jo was after listening to the opera, there was a person who kept going around and around, still having endless aftertastes. That kind of happiness is jo's shining brilliance. It is the art of opera sculpture that makes Jo's whole person constantly positive and exudes his aura of constant publicity.
So for jo, Laurie is a family member. Family members don't understand you, but they will tolerate you without restriction and give you a place of love. But for Jo, what a partner is is a spiritual communication, because only art can make her happy.
