How do the strangers and Henry interactions with elisa at her garden differ?

In John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums," the interactions between Elisa and the strangers differ significantly from her interaction with Henry. With Henry, Elisa feels a sense of companionship but also a stifling of her individuality, as he often dismisses her passions. In contrast, the stranger initially engages with her enthusiasm for gardening, flattering her expertise, which momentarily ignites her spirit. However, this interaction ultimately leaves her feeling disillusioned and unfulfilled when he exploits her vulnerability without genuine appreciation for her identity or work.
