Faults of Marriage and a Strange 540 Story
A long critical essay on marriage warns that separation harms the heart and body, urging marriage of the heart over wealth. It discusses dangers of infidelity, then shifts to a 540 story detailing a legal case of a man forging a wife’s death to remarry, with a long narrative about a peasant woman and a complex family web across Europe, ending with a melodramatic domestic vignette about a lord and a lover, confusion, and a household scene.
