This is a two-fold answer, the one the reader feels cathartically, and the one the reader feels cathartically under the same circumstances that Eveline had. It is hard to determine whether it was "the mistake of her life", because her life, as she knew it, was no life to begin with.
Eveline had not known freedom, love, belonging, peace, comfort, satisfaction, a fullfilled womanhood, nor that feeling of being special that all women love to feel when we have spent time and efforts sacrificing for others.
She, instead, was expected to sacrifice, and was demaded to give up herself. Having to change that would have been the end of the world as she knew it, and a very huge change of pace. In the end, she could only live in one world: The one that was set out for her from the beginning. The rest, would be just another dream.
