'Victorian Short Stories of Troubled Marriages' Summary
The stories in this collection offer a diverse range of perspectives on Victorian marriage. Some stories, such as "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, expose the suffocating nature of domestic life for women. Others, like "The Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen, depict the devastating consequences of societal expectations on relationships. Still, other stories, such as "The Red Room" by H.G. Wells, explore the supernatural and psychological dimensions of marriage. Collectively, these tales provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the complexities of Victorian marriage.Book Details
