Julia, o La Nueva Eloísa

The book delves into ideas of virtue and natural goodness—how much do you think Rousseau’s own beliefs shaped her choices and development?

Julie’s love feels so pure and elevated, but at times it also seems disconnected from real life. Did that make others question the balance between idealism and practicality?

The use of letters adds intimacy but also distance at times. I wonder whether Rousseau chose this to highlight personal voice or to reflect the social constraints of the era.
