Explanation:

Marie St. Clare is a character in "Uncle Tom's Cabin". From this excerpt, the words that seems to describe her best are egotistical and misled.

Marie is a hypochondriac, meaning she always believes herself to be sick. She demands constant attention from those around her, even keeping the slaves up at night to take care of her. Her lack of sympathy borders cruelty, especially when it comes to punishing the slaves. She does not contribute to society and, as the "lady" she is, she stays out of household affairs. She ignores the wishes of her late husband and daughter, doing what she wants and considers best for herself, even if it hurts other people's lives.
