-Marriage

We can see the culture a wife of following

the husband after getting married. In the

short story, Cecily Foley moved with her

husband his house after she became Dexter’s

wife.

LOLLY WILLOWES

-Patriarchal Society

Women have no right to voice out their

opinion. Women’s opinions are trivial. “She

quietly rejects her family. She refuses to be

defined by her relationships with men. She

breaches the social barriers between gentry

and working people.”
