He attempts to understand the reasons behind the tragedy by recalling the history of their marriage: how he, a forty-year-old man with wounded pride, took a sixteen-year-old dowerless girl as his wife, deciding to ‘conquer’ her with his silence and austerity.His desire to dominate and mold his wife into an ideal, submissive creature leads to a silent psychological confrontation and mutual alienation.
