Estoy bien y tu?

 

Ethan Frome is a novel that was published in 1911 by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Edith Wharton. It is set in turn-of-the-century New England in the fictitious town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. The novel was adapted into a film in 1993

Ethan Frome is described as “the most striking figure in Starkfield” --“the ruin of a man,” with a “careless powerful look…in spite of a lameness checking each step like the jerk of a chain”. Frome's wife is the “sickly, cantankerous” Zenobia ("Zeena"). He is her sole caregiver until her young and beautiful cousin, Mattie Silver, arrives to help with housekeeping. Ethan is taken in by Mattie’s youthful beauty and good humor, but his interest in Mattie does not go unnoticed by Zeena. In fact, when she realizes Ethan and Mattie’s mutual attraction, she plans to hire someone less attractive and to have Mattie sent away.

 

其實對於Ethan想帶著Mattie私奔一起去尋找自己的夢想

而拋棄Zeena

之後一連串的事情 他們倆選擇殉情 不過沒成功 Mattie卻癱瘓了

Ethan得負責起這兩個女人的生活

也不太可能去實現自己的夢想

我看了其實心裡一陣痛快

因為Ethan的態度一切都讓我覺得他是個負心漢

沒有責任感又沒良心的男人

最後還是只能留在農村生活並照顧一個生病的女人跟癱瘓的女人

或許這樣的結局也是種警惕吧!
