A woman who longs for love and protection

I don't want to describe the plot of the story, because the plot has become insignificant compared to the expression of the inner world of the characters.
A woman who protects herself with lies is so sympathetic. "I just want a peaceful life", I think that's what the heroine wants, and she can't even get that, marriage, and the ravages of the flesh, almost breaking her down with the last bit of life-saving stuff , leave gracefully.
Sensitivity, nervousness, vulnerability to love - these are the weaknesses of almost all women.
Hope we can be stronger!

  • Stanley: How about a few more details on that subject... Let's cop a gander at the bill of sale... What do you mean? She didn't show you no papers, no deed of sale or nothin' like that?... Well then, what was it then? Given away to charity?... Oh I don't care if she hears me. Now let's see the papers... Now listen. Did you ever hear of the Napoleonic code, Stella?... Now just let me enlighten you on a point or two... Now we got here in the state of Louisiana what's known as the Napoleonic code. You see, now according to that, what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband also, and vice versa... It looks to me like you've been swindled baby. And when you get swindled under Napoleonic code, I get swindled too and I don't like to get swindled... Where's the money if the place was sold?
