“He would rather be right than be happy.”
When a husband's petty jealousy morphs into a soul-crushing obsession with moral superiority, a once-happy marriage becomes a psychological battlefield. Trollope masterfully dissects the toxic power of pride and the tragic consequences of a man who would rather lose everything than admit he was wrong.
