Slave to marriage

Glenn Close performed a model of a perfect wife. I was surrendered by her elegance. Her temperament exuded from the inside out is the accumulation of many years of life.

She fell in love with someone she shouldn't love, starting from the value of her face and falling into marriage. Her writing talent is not recognized in the patriarchal society, and she is committed to becoming a ghostwriter for her husband. The incompetent husband published his wife's work in his own name under the title of professor of literature, and they spent more than 30 years in this way. The good works over the years have knocked on the door of the Nobel Prize. The husband told a lie in front of others, as always, using the same methods that have remained unchanged for decades to tease his sister. This has left the genius female writer who has forbeared for many years and supported her husband silently. She has been dragging forward in this tattered marriage all her life. In the repeated episodes of her husband being forgiven after derailment, she became a slave to the marriage, and the husband actually aggrieved that he had given everything for the family. When the husband said before he died, she was a big liar, yes, she actually lied to herself, and will continue to lie.

This kind of marriage pattern prevailed in the rural areas in the middle of the last century. Men were superior to women, and even the wife was called "back house." The wife worked hard to support the family, and the husband was responsible for bragging. For guests at home, the woman is responsible for everything in the kitchen. The man yells for five and six drinks while eating, and the wife can only stay in the kitchen, and is responsible for washing up after the meal. Once the family leaves the woman, the man will be unable to move at an inch, which is somewhat similar to the old couple in the play. At the same time, this kind of marriage is surprisingly stable, unlike today's marriage that is purely a piece of paper, which will be replaced with another one at any time.

Sometimes I wonder if an elegant woman is "cultivated" by scum. She protects him everywhere, but he looks for flowers everywhere. Finally, the husband asked her why she was marrying him as a scumbag. She actually answered that she didn't know. Maybe this is the helplessness of real marriage, which is the so-called "marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog". Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, but the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. The path you choose to go on without looking back is also considered a promise to marriage.

Can I add a sentence in the marriage announcement in the future, I am willing to be a slave to marriage and never betray.

The Wife quotes

  • Joan Castleman: I am a kingmaker.

  • Joan Castleman: I can't do it anymore, Joe. I can't do it. I can't take it. I can't take the humiliation of holding your coat and arranging your pills and picking the crumbs out of your beard and being shoved aside with all the other wives to talk about some goddamn shopping trip while you, while you say to all the, the gathering sycophants that your wife doesn't write! Your wife, who just won the Nobel Prize!

    Joe Castleman: So, if I'm such an insensitive and talentless fucking piece of shit, why the fuck did you marry me?
