Sentence order
"No, let her figure it out the hard way"...
Why so strange order? It should be somehow
"It's a hard way let her figure(d) out". There let is simply infinitive and let just one of those that hasn't 'to'.
Anyway cannot understand why 'it' between 'figure' and 'out'. And why then figure is not in passive voice?
Where is a subject and where is a predicate of original sentence?

" - when talking about personal preferences ( to be taught a lesson by brute force or by consensual agreement, let`s say) Read this and I will get back to you.
