Ahh what a charming, nice, sweet lady............ *sarcasm... hahahaaha I would have divorced her.... yikes........... marking up that poetry book and that attitude.......
shareShe was so mean to Henry!! I felt bad for him!!!
shareYou know it’s interesting because in the original story she’s nothing like that but is simply described (from Henry’s point of view as I recall) as being more social than he is.
shareNever read the original story, thats interesting
shareIt's posted here if you'd like to take a look. In the story, Henry's wife is Agnes.

I agree that she is awful here, but it does make me wonder what she had endured up to this point to make her this way. Henry is charming to us, but only because we see that brief funny side of him.

So what did she see in him to marry him?
shareOh, I completely agree that she's cruel, but she alludes to things that may have led her there. Like Henry screwing up his career because he can't balance it with his work, very doing anything social, etc.
I'm sure he was trying, and she chose a childish and mean spirited way to deal with it.
