...audience's interest. Its disclosure to her husband, which in turn exposes him as a hypocrite more concerned about his own status than his wife's reputation, seems both simple-minded and rather too specifically linked to a time (the late 19th century) and a place (gloomy Scandinavia) to be relevant to the contemporary war of the sexes...
