Spirited Young Lady | |
| A Sunday in the Country / int_4067bd4d | comment |
Spirited Young Lady: Irène is young. Her family is rich. She is witty and confident. She likes speed and automobiles, which are "unladylike" things. She is independent and self-sufficient. She does not want to get married. She is outspoken and bold. She avoids going so far beyond the rules of her society that she would be labelled disreputable: she has a secret lover, but she does not tell her father about him. | |

What Could Have Been | |
| A Sunday in the Country / int_453871ec | comment |
What Could Have Been: In-Universe, Discussed Trope. Ladmiral says that he knew Cezanne and Van Gogh and Renoir and all those guys, and that he could have changed his style and followed the Impressionists. But instead he stuck with his more traditional, realistic style of painting. As a result, while he's wealthy and comfortable he seems to know he's not as highly regarded as his peers. | |

Day in the Life | |
| A Sunday in the Country / int_5389b851 | comment |
Day in the Life: Pretty much literally, as it is a day in the life of the Ladrimal family. Also figuratively, as there isn't a ton of plot, but rather, a character study of a family where most everybody seems to be quietly unhappy in different ways. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling | |
| A Sunday in the Country / int_598513bb | comment |
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Gonzague is very serious: he has a stable job and a strong family. He visits his father frequently. Her sister Irène does not want to get married. She has a secret lover. Her job is not stable, but she spends a lot of money (she owns a motor car). She visits his father rarely. | |

The Unfavorite: Gonzague. The narration relates how Gonzague is the faithful son who visits regularly, and Irene hardly ever visits, but all Gonzague's visits achieve is to remind his father of how rarely Irene visits. | |

Insistent Appellation: Monsieur Ladmiral insists on calling his son "Gonzague", an aristocratic given name, whereas his servant and Gonzague's wife call him "Édouard", a more common name. | |

Genki Girl: Irène is cheerful and full of energy. She constantly moves quickly. She does not stop talking (so that it is difficult for her father to say something). | |
