You're imagining adjectives I didn't use. I called the character uneducated, which she is in the context of the people in Jaromil's life. There's nothing more to recommend than the usual about normal people, which is what she is. She's someone Jaromil uses to pretend he's connected with the revolution, but at the same time he's with her because he can't get anyone better, in his view.

But like the people in Jaromil's life, she exists to show what a pathetic, self-centered person the young poet is. Former schoolmates, party members, teachers, all are mystified by him because he's a communist poet; no one realises the shallowness in him.

Even so she goes a few steps further than everyone in exposing him for what he truly is and her fate is as tragic as his, and more realistic in the context of the Prague Spring.
