Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cage Most decent people will be disposed to agree with me, whatever their religious opinions, and whatever their experience of married life, that if every woman in Christendom behaved after the fashion of Mme. Bovary or Mme. Anna Karenina, it would soon be exceedingly ill with the world. But few people who discuss this question of marriage perceive that, unless religion is acknowledged as the foundation of human life, a great many more reasons can be found why every woman should seek her own individual pleasure, and behave, if she so wish it, in the manner of the two ladies mentioned above, than logical reasons can be manufactured to prove why she should suffer a cold unselfishness and endure all the thousand wounding restraints of a virtue which merely strangles and suffocates the human nature. At the end of her life, so full of tragic mutiny against society, and so desolate with the intensity of its own passionate and unyielding individualism, Mme. Sand wrote in her Journal: "The cure for us is far more simple than we will believe. All the better natures amongst us see it and feel it. It is a good direction given by ourselves to our hearts and consciences." When a man has made up his heart and conscience (the two must go in step together, or no pace and no road will ever be comfortable) how to answer Life´s question, "Whither goest thou?" - he will find little difficulty in answering the subsidiary questions of society with which he is challenged on his way.
