MELODRAMA 😂
Over the top and painfully drawn out finale. Today this likely would have been edited down for the better, but that‘s 21st C me!
This was a reread after many years & was still delicious for all of the poking & prodding at 19th C conventions about love, marriage, and expectations for women. I could quibble with Helen cast as martyr, but it is what it is…….Abused women sometimes stay or go back to their abusers, no matter the era.
