She's also incredibly funny (and sometimes savage) which also gets lost in many adaptations, since it's in her commentary and not necessarily in the dialog.
She was not a woman of many words; for, unlike people in general, she proportioned them to the number of her ideas.
Yes. But here in Germany you usually just have one pillow and one duvet (I'm not sure if that is the correct term) per person. To make the bed, you fold over the duvet, so the bed can air out. Maybe fluff up the pillow, depending on the type of pillow. So it only takes a few seconds to do that.

I think I remember some years ago a zoo fed a dead giraffe to the lions and people went absolutely insane about it. I'm not sure about the details anymore, they might have killed it because there wasn't enough room in the zoo for it? Either way I didn't get it, what do they think the lions are fed any other day? Animals that weren't killed explicitly to become food? Some cows that couldn't bear existence on this world anymore and offered themselves as lion food? Where is the difference?

Fun fact: German ICEs (high-speed trains) are not allowed to enter Switzerland if they are delayed too much so they don't disrupt the Swiss schedule. This year more than 10% were not allowed to continue.
I think the reason might be racism.
Counterpoint: If success is what we base this on, then E. L. James (50 shades of grey) is a very good author.
