He touches her with possessive intent, making clear that she has no choice but to comply with his desires. The story chronicles a marriage defined by imbalance. The wife continually gives of herself, sacrificing and compromising, until she finally discovers her own worth and value. Simultaneously, her husband continues to take from her without regard, extracting what he wants from the relationship. His constant taking and her endless giving gradually erodes the foundation of their bond. As she grows stronger and more aware of her self-worth, she realizes she can no longer sustain a love that requires her complete surrender. The marriage that began with his assertion of control ultimately ends with his loss of her affection. What he gained through dominance, he loses through his inability to value what she offered.
