  • Résumé : "Man and Wife" by Wilkie Collins explores the intricate dynamics of marriage, identity, and societal expectations. The narrative begins with two young women, Blanche and Anne, parting ways as they embark on different life paths. Blanche moves to India to work as a governess, while Anne remains in England with aspirations of becoming a performer. The story then shifts to the lives of three men: Mr. Vanborough, Mr. Kendrew, and Mr. Delamayn. Mr. Vanborough, married to Anne, seeks to annul their marriage due to a legal technicality, allowing him to pursue a more socially advantageous union with Lady Jane Parnell. This decision sets off a chain of events that reveal the moral and legal complexities of marriage. Anne, left to fend for herself and her daughter, faces societal judgment and personal despair. The narrative delves into themes of betrayal, societal norms, and the quest for personal fulfillment. As the story progresses, the characters' lives intersect in unexpected ways, highlighting the enduring impact of past decisions on present circumstances. Collins masterfully weaves a tale that critiques the legal and social structures of his time, ultimately questioning the true nature of commitment and identity.
