Lenu requires validation from society but mostly from Lila, who requires none. Lenu's perception of the world, situations, people is one of a dreamer. In contrast, Lila is a realist having learned at an early that her talents don't need validation to exist and that life is not fair. We cannot trust Lenu's version of the world or her POV about Lila at any given time.(less)
