What I don't understand is why Lorelai Lee wasn't 100% sold into the Via Imperii ideals and beliefs? Hana's parents were social climbers and major classists. They looked down on people who weren't born in a rich family or didn't have connections that they believed were useful. So why didn't Lorelai believe in the Via Imperii's beliefs that the ruling class were better than the common born?
I believe that it was all about control for Lorelai. She didn't want to relinquish control of her daughter to anyone, and that was why she took off. Also pb desperately wanted to make a group of strangers look worse than Hana's abusive parents, but that's just my opinion.
