Aglaya was the only one who looked on Nastasya Filippovna in that light …
As a rival. Everyone else saw Nastasya as a deranged, ruined woman who debauchs with Rogozhin — the fiancé she earned by being ‘auctioned off’ with one-hundred-thousand rubles. To proper society, her only redeemable factor was her wealth and beauty, and even those are often insulted.
Except for Myshkin, of course, who saw her as an honest woman and would’ve taken her with nothing.
