Description

Financial hardship prompts the young girl to marry a man whom she not only did not love, but also despised him and his occupation. She tries to rebel against such a life and against her husband, whom she even intended to kill in order to end human torment: not only her own, but also those people who were dependent on him, who pledged their last property for a penny at a high percentage.
