Her conscience becomes warped in the process.

She tries to persuade herself that her love is only friendship. She knows she should avoid Juan and she tries to resolve the conflict in herself by rationalizing. Her eyes are gradually opened to what is happening in her, but by this time love is so firmly rooted in her that she becomes a hypocrite both in regard to herself and in regard to her husband. She falls in love with Juan as she had not been able to fall in love with her husband.

She does not know herself well, and when she begins to find in Don Juan what is lacking in her life, nature takes over and cooperates with her frustrations. She is not basically hypocritical but she is desperately in need of love. These she finds in Don Juan and therefore is powerfully attracted to him. He is incapable of giving his wife the affection and comradeship that she needs. The personality of her husband is neither attractive nor repulsive it is neutral.
