Entre realidad y fantasía

“Anne Brontë also answers a question that other novels of her time do not ask: what happens to a marriage and to the innocent partner when one partner (specifically, the male) leads a solipsistic life, where personal pleasures are seen as deserved, where maleness and the role of husband is tied to the freedom to do as one wants, and femaleness and the role of wife is linked to providing service and pleasure not necessarily sexual, but including daily praise and ego-boosting and, quite simply, constant attention.” “The Question of Credibility in Anne Brontë’s ‘The Tenant of Wildfell Hall’” - Arlene Jackson (via thatfontainewoman)
