Following you logic, would Monica become a different person if she became "better at manipulating people with sex", as you say and suggest? It can be rationalized the same way you just did. It is the best course of actions. Out of desperation she has to act this way (even though she doesn't like), but she is still the same person. No corruption. No real change of character. Just a change of tactics.We're talking about her character, not her circumstances. She is still the same person, she is just more desperate. If I am not willing to do something and do become willing once I feel my life is closer to falling apart, i have not changed at all. The circumstances has convinced me that this is the best way to move forward.
Same thing with Monica, everytime she does something degenerate, its because she thinks its the best way to move forward. If she doesn't its because she wasn't desperate enough to think she needed to do it at that moment. And the same loop plays out over and over forever.
The same can be said about your idea of Monica becoming "mindbroken". She is still the same person. But she is so desperate that she lost all hope and cannot move forward anymore towards her goals. Nothing has changed with her character, she has just achieved a point where she cannot do anything or just too tired.
