Chapter Fourteen
Chapter Fourteen
She seems to take every hardship in life, from losing her fortune to seeing her husband abandon their family to fight in the Civil War, with blind, smiling acceptance: in a way, she represents the very mindless, simpering wife she advocates against, silently abiding by her husband's decisions. She realizes that both the war (reasons for it) and her husband are flawed.
