Conclusion

Ellen Farber was suffering from a critical phase of life. She has been declared bankrupt which was because of her luxurious life style and fewer resources. Her income was not enough to support her standard of living, which was because of the distressing fact, the loneliness. However, this loneliness was because of her inactive social circle and relationships. Thus, to reduce the loneliness phase of her life, she used to treat herself luxuriously. She used to get depress because of no social circle and lack of friends and family, she started overeating (Paris, 1993, Pp. 350-389).
