 Eva's last words before she gets shot dead by her son, "What is concatenation?," also points at the accumulation of events and their determining effect on one's life.This question adds to many of the other moments, especially in the second part of the novel, in which Eva shows the signs of addressing the constraints of the situations that she finds herself in rather than dismissing them right away.Iseult's bad faith, on the other hand, consists in blaming Eva for all her miseries, disappointments and failures.
