The two marriages are similar in a couple of ways. First the women in the stories are isolated from their husbands, not physically but mentally. The love between husbands and wives are not always perfect but these two examples are not any where close. The differences in the women is most noted how they display their emotions. The similarities in the men could be noted by the willingness to provide for women they are unemotionally attracted. The differences would be that one of the men lived when the second perished.
Wow, this is a good way to look at the similarities in the marriages. I did not think about them being isolated (mentally) because they both were around their husbands. I can see where just because you are around someone you still can be far away from them in that aspect.
ReplyDeleteFor the two husbands that had wives that really did not love them they were nice enough to support them and provide for them. Most men would not do that anymore.
