What causes Euphelia's boredom and how is it portrayed in the letter to the Rambler?

Quote 1: “Boredom connects itself with depression, with loneliness, with restlessness… The cause of pathological boredom lies within, normal boredom derives from inadequacies of ‘the external world’” (Spacks, 5).

Quote 2: “The novelty of the objects about me pleased me for a while, but after a few days they were new no longer, and I soon began to perceive that the country…had very soon exhausted all their power of pleasing, and that I had not in myself any fund of satisfaction, with which I could supply the loss of my customary amusements”(Johnson, 7).

            In the letter by Euphelia to the Rambler, she talks about how she became very experienced and constantly surrounded by diversions in her early years, and that she at first longed to stay with her aunt and experience new things by living in the country. I found this interesting because the beginning of Spack’s book talks about how boredom is perpetuated through the constant desire for anything new, and how as this desire becomes greater, so does the boredom we feel and perceive. However, Euphelia’s quote above is an example of how her boredom derived from “inadequacies of the external world.” Because she was doing the same thing every day in the country, what was once new and interesting no longer held that “power of pleasing” that led her to it in the first place. After leading such a busy life, as Euphelia explains throughout the letter, she becomes bored very quickly with no obligations or people to talk to in the country. I find it very interesting that the way one leads one’s life and the customs they follow can affect their “susceptibility” to boredom. If someone, such as Euphelia, is constantly busy everyday all day, transitioning to a life in the country with full freedom (with her time at least) can get old very fast, and it does for her. I see this with people I know as well. Some of my friends have a need to be constantly busy, otherwise they get bored and “restless”, while others can be content by just relaxing and spending time alone, doing nothing. Spacks also talks about this, saying that as our society started developing faster, people became bored faster, which caused a proliferation of the feeling of boredom in our society.  Perhaps this is why people who are constantly busy become bored and restless faster than those who are not.
