A noblewoman tells another noblewoman that a third noblewoman thinks she is stupid. To the third noblewoman the first noblewoman says that the second noblewoman thinks her hat is ugly. Finally, the schemer revels in seeing the two noblewomen go at each other. She sowed dissent because she does not know how to address her real need for intimacy and friendship.
"Once upon a time, there was a woman who was unable to have her true needs fulfilled."
The notion of intrigues
Cunning or mean behaviour aimed at sowing dissent, putting someone else in a bad light, achieving an advantage at the expense of someone else or similar.
When we plot and scheme, we are really seeking an outlet for our anger, aggression or frustration. We project these feelings on others because we find there is no room for our feelings where we are. As an added bonus, intrigues can also be used in a power struggle.
