Similar to other books from this time period there is a lack of purpose for many of the characters. The upper and middle classes are basking in their free time, living without cares or responsibility, and life is to be enjoyed. This does leave the story without a real plot, but it is an interesting reflection on life for the privileged and hedonistic during this time.
