Read the passage. Long ago in the Imperial Court, the emperor fell in love with a certain lady. She was not of a high rank, nor was she of a low rank. The emperor lavished her with much attention, causing other ladies of the court to say hurtful things about her and treat her poorly. These ladies resented her presence in the court and made her feel very unwelcome. Their unkindness caused her to become ill, which in turn kept her at home and away from the court and the emperor. But the emperor’s affection for her only grew and gave him courage to pursue his love despite what others thought.

–Adapted from The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu

Rivalry causes severe illness.
