Das Mädchen mit den funkelnden Augen

The depiction of art as a reflection of personal and societal struggles felt so vivid. I'm curious what inspired the choice to focus on this era and theme.

The characters' struggles with societal expectations made me wonder how much of their actions were driven by genuine choice versus societal pressure. Did this resonate with others?

Switching viewpoints added depth but also complexity. I wonder if this was planned from the beginning or evolved during the writing process.
