Now he is singing a song I have never heard.

“There is a long healing process ahead.”

Marianne and Jacob VS Linda and her husband

Instead of validating her dramatic "broken heart" narrative, he’s likely going to challenge her on what love and passion actually mean, shifting her path away from a chaotic psychological thriller and back toward a journey of actual self-discovery.

“You were better as you were,”

“She’s a complete woman.”

Minimization: Dismissing actual chemical imbalances or deep psychological distress as something people just need to "learn to mend" on their own.

In a society where every physical and financial need is perfectly met, the "monotony" Linda complains about is a widespread societal reality. When life lacks external friction or struggle, internal existential dread fills the vacuum. Linda is looking at the people around her who use medication to cope with that baseline emptiness and is judging them for it to make her own destructive choices feel superior.
