No, nothing like any of these.
Were operations the most effective way to reach the result mostly because they change her appearence? Changing her appearance was her intention initially, and they achieved that result, so yes Mostly because they gave her the opportunity to ask for a recovery period? Not really, and the recovery period happened anyway. But the recovery period was relevant
Is the aim she wanted to reach mainly related to her appearence? Her original aim was, yes If so, mainly her face? Mainly her body? Both with an equal weight? yes Would her aim be reached even if in the recovery period nobody but doctors or nobody at all was able to see her? Apart from the Drs, nobody saw her in the recovery period anyway. Same question for the period after the recovery period. It's relevant that her husband didn't see her during the recovery periods.
Did she want to avoid to go back to his husband so that it was simpler to abandon him? No, she had no intention of abandoning him.
WAG --> Were them a famous couple always with paparazzi on them? She was no more able to suffer the situation so she decided to have operations so to look like a normal person. In order not to be recognised she also decided not to see her husband again. No.

So we can say that she achieved her aim also in the recovery period right?

The character of the man who was her husband is irrel Because she needed to be alone? Not completely alone, no, just to leave her husband Not to be bind by a stable relation? No Would the puzzle work even though the two were not married? Yes, if they had been an unmarried couple in love for a long time it would still work Is to gain money? To have a divorce? Legal consequences relevant? no to these
Earnest wrote:Relevant how many time occurred from a recovery period to another? Years? Months? Days? Not really, you can assume weeks or months
Other men relevant? No During the recovery periods can we assume that she was on a bed not doing anything except recovering?

No, just this series of operations Was her about to win a prize for that? Is being married a damage for her image? For the image of herself she wanted to give?

The fact of sharing sonething? The fact of being in love per se? Her role as a wife? None of these are relevant
Had the husband performed similar operations? Was her physical conditoons before and after operations relevant(diseases/syamese twins?)?
Did someone else assumed her appearence? Like a face transplant? No to all

no
Earnest wrote:"Did she want him to look for her? Possibly at first but irrel then she revealed herself? No She did not want him to look for her? He looked at her and did not recognise her. It's irrel whether she wanted him to look at her She escaped? Yes! "Escaped" is too strong a word though; she realised he didn't recognise her, so she just walked past him and left.
Relevant which actions he made in order to look for her? Recognise her? Yes,
he looked out for her at the airport If so, in performing those actions did he take for granted that she wanted to return with him? Yes I mean...he did not set billboards with her image right? No It would have been counterproductive, correct? Yes Did he know about the radical change of her wife or did he just know about the first operation?

A little After all the operations? After some operations? Increasingly so after each operation Did the benefit allow her to abandon her husband? I would say 'cause' rather than allow, but yes Or did she realize that she could abandon him because she had that benefit? Yesish Does the benefit include any of the doctors?

Did she change the color of her skin? Her eyes? The exact operations are irrel Did she belong to a particular religion? To a particular culture? Need of independency relevant? No or irrel Was the benefit a direct consequence of the many operations? An indirect one? Probably more indirect, DOYD Involving the attitude of the others toward her? (E.g. everybody was more respectful...) No Scarves deriving by operations relevant? No Was it a temporary benefit? Yes A permanent one? Not permanent but it could be repeated Related to her appearence? Related to the clothes she could wear? Related to another issue that doctors solved while performing other operations and that allowed her to face the choice of ataying with her husband or leave? No to all
Is it something like she did not love her husband even though they were happy together, but she was forced to stay with him because she was pregnant? And then among the many operations or she did not told anything to the doctors or she asked the doctors to miscarry? Or she became sterile after the series if operations? No to all, BUWT
Earnest wrote:Benefit = something that should be taken after each operation ? (E.g. pills...)...possibility of having something for free? No Advantages given from the fact of having been operated recently? Yes Temporary = it lasts for the recovery period? Yes It lasts more than one year? One day? Two months? It would vary according to the severity/type of operation, and how long the recovery took. It was not something she was given, more something she experienced. Anything between a week and several months.
Earnest wrote:Ok...so...step by step...first of all after each recovery period she had to wait distant from her husband until her recovery right? Yes, but... And this amount of time varies depending on the type of operations she had to make right? Yope Is it relevant that she had to be distant fron her husband? Yes Is it relevant wheather she had taken airplanes many times to operate? Not really... she took one flight at the beginning and one at the end of ALL the operations Did she realize that her dream was to fly? No Did she become expert in something? Yope
Was the benefit a gain in her expertise? No
Does she increasingly recognize the benefit after each operation because: strictly because of the number of operations? (e.g. the benefit is higher at the 5th operation w.r.t the 4th?...) No Does the benefit manifest as soon as she exited from the operating room and ended as soon as she had recovered? Yes Does it deal with tolerance of pain? YES!
Difference between physical and mental pain relevant? Both are relevant The fact that she would have suffered abandoning her husband? YES The fact of getting used to small changes in her body each time? No Did the benefit manifest in a particular moment of the recovery? Yes, as above, as soon as each operation is done Each time the bandages were taken away? No See herself in the mirror relevant? No
Is the benefit that being she radically changed she would not have suffered by going away from her husband She DID suffer because she would not have seen him suffering and call her back? No The only thing is ...why did she go away...it deals with a dream of her right? Yes, you already know she wanted surgery Is it a common dream that anyone has? some people do A dream that would have brought her from a place to another in the world? It did do this, but mostly irrelOn the moon? Travel a lot? Radically change periodically? Becoming famous? No to these
So...
She stayed away from her husband for the complete series of operations
The 'benefit' is her effect to do with pain
Both physical and mental pain are relevant
Earnest wrote:I feel like the answer is close but I'm not reaching...so...
after each operation she got used to both physical (recovery to operations) and mental pain (staying distant from her husband) right? Yes So when abandoning the husband she did suffer... Yes the only thing that comes up in my mind is the following: because pain is something useful for human being she wanted to test wheather she was capable to suffer again or if she had become a robot. No Or on the contrary, she wanted to get used to all possible pains so she decided to abandon the husband so to get used also to this type of pain. YES
Is crying relevant? Was she able to cry? Irrel
