  • Downplayed: While not overindulgent of it, Alice seeks pleasure nonetheless.
  • Justified: Alice doesn't like to experience pain and suffering (and who wouldn't?).
  • Inverted:

  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Alice's friends stage an intervention for her.

  • Deconstructed: Alice eventually becomes unsatisfied since the pleasures she enjoys are only temporary. In addition, she alienates others who are tired of her pleasure-seeking tendencies.
  • Reconstructed: Alice learns to moderate her hedonism and consider others' needs. At least most of the time anyways.
