I don’t think Olivia’s attitude towards the suttees shows any disloyality at all.
Her opposition against the “typical Brithish” views is founded in her boredom and the refusal of the other British people in Satipur.
What is called “infatuation” in the quote is only what all other British people in India miss: interest. She is not discussing the things under the aspects of the culture she is used to from Britain. She is disgusted by the hypocrisy of the English people she is dining with (p. 59, ll. 24-26).
