Eveline

A confusing story but a fascinating one indeed, still a common story for some people today who live with an abusive father and a submissive mother, in fact an example of learned behavior from Eveline. She shows how terrorized she is about the fact of leaving her bullying father to the point where she can't even take a step towards Frank and stays in the "dirty pond" she has for a life, her father aside from being abusive won't even let Eveline have her own money, talk about a father! I know that I am a male but I'm completely against the macho abusive kind of male figure that some people are used to live with, even though Eveline's father was a kind fellow when his wife was still alive but then he somewhat took it out on her daughter when his wife died, maybe because she resembled her dead mother too much and he was rebellious that he couldn't have his beloved wife and that turned him into the animal he became. The story should have ended differently in my entire own opinion, she should have left everything that was troubling her and making her life a living hell, if it was up to me I would have definitely gone with Frank and live my life and if things didn't worked out as planned well there is always a tomorrow and at least I wouldn't be in my house with my father as my biggest threat and enemy.
