Cosima Liszt-Wagner
motivation

Cosima Wagner's quiet, unassuming, rather modest facade (described in the previous chapter) is liable to mask certain far less modest goals and ambitions in life. Materially (or in other ways), she is much more aspiring than she may seem, and reaching the top academically or professionally is really important to her.

Serious, disciplined and quietly ambitious, she is driven to prove herself and to achieve material accomplishments and success. Her work, her position in the world, and her contributions to society are very important to Cosima Wagner.

She is highly conscientious and even as a child she possessed great maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom.

She is basically a pragmatic realist, and though she may have all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, she feels that the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness. Cosima Liszt has an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a bit of the cynic in her as well.
