C'est le premier portrait de femme profondément destructrice, rancunière et laide que Balzac ait produit. Elle se voit apparentée à un animal malfaisant : "ses sourcils épais réunis par un bouquet, sa face longue et simiesque laissent deviner derrière la paysanne des Vosges un caractère de sauvage". Et c'est bien d'une sauvage dont il s'agit. La cousine est animée d'une rage et d'une passion impuissante. Telle une araignée tissant sa toile, elle gaspille une énergie folle à nuire sans recueillir les fruits de ses intrigues, pourtant patiemment élaborées.

Une mystérieuse force à l'œuvre dans les galaxies et les amas de galaxies. Une masse manquante dans l'univers. L'idée de la matière noire est née de l'analyse de la dynamique des amas de galaxies, et des galaxies elles-mêmes: la force gravitationnelle engendrée par la matière répertoriée dans ces systèmes astronomiques ne semble pas suffisante pour assurer leur cohésion. D'où l'idée que, en plus de la matière visible, existerait également de grandes quantités de matière invisible, la matière noire, qui exercerait l'attraction suffisante pour retenir les galaxies dans les amas, les étoiles dans les galaxies.
