How does her personality make it easier for her to reach her goal

Although Griet seems quiet and restrained in her outward behavior, she is capable of strong desire and sensual pleasure. She feels desire for the luxurious and beautiful objects she first encounters in the Vermeer household, such as the yellow satin mantle, the fine furs, and the pearl jewelry. As time goes on, Griet's desire becomes more explicitly sexual as her attraction to Vermeer increases. By the time he paints her portrait on the day that she poses wearing the earrings, she is very responsive to being close to him and having him touch her.
