I think based on Rouenna's actions we can only conclude that she was using Misha for money. As soon as he spent a lot of money on her and sent her to college, she ditched him for someone she actually want to be with. However, as much as her leaving hurt Misha, I think it was good for him. He is now more self-dependent and later on in the book even meets another girl who I think will be a better fit for him.
I think that Rouenna initially was using Misha for his money, but she seems like she really wants to change now. She already told him he could cancel her scholarship and I think she would take him back if he came back.
I doubt she truley loved him, otherwise she wouldn't be swayed so much by her professor. She seems very impressionable and her immediate attraction to him seemed all but sincere.
After giving this question a lot of thought, I'm undecided. When Rouenna first meets Misha, she seems to genuinely like him. Though it must be considered that Rouenna is a stripper and must be very good at engaging any possible customers when the walk in the door. I agree with Aldis' comment about how Rouenna gets Misha to spend money on her and then when given the chance, leaves him. Though I still am not completely convinced she was a gold digga'.
I like she may have loved him, at least some of her. There is no question she used him but i find it hard to believe that she would spend that much time with him, travel across the globe , just for money.
i think she may just be happy that someone loves her. she doesnt seem to have many suitors. i mean really there comes a time when i guess a woman will take... anyhting.
Yeah, I think that Rouenna was mainly using Misha. She went from being an employee at a titty bar to an educated college girl. Plus, she is able to meet some hot guys like Shteynfarb by going to college.
I don't see Rouenna as the type to use someone. She worked in a titty bar. She can't have things planned out far enough to decide to use Misha to get what she wants then dump him for someone she'll eventually fall in love with. She just wants someone to take care of her, and with Misha in Russia, she obviously feels neglected. Since the professor is conveniently in close proximity to her and has a job, she looks up to him and dumps Misha for someone who can look after her more closely.
I believe that Rouenna doesn't love Misha at all and is just using him for his money. This is shown by her willingness to leave Misha after she went off to college.

ReplyDeleteBased on the amount of Absurdistan I have read so far, it seems as if Rouenna is simply using Misha for his money.
