There are good aspects to this story but I know the morals were different then, women had few rights compared to men but he sleeps around, admittedly he thought his marriage was over and he doesn't realise he is sleeping with another man's wife but still he has no morals. He is unkind on her wedding night, he realises she is not a virgin but he doesn't try and find out what happened, she was raped. He makes unkind accusations and automatically assumes she is a worthless woman who would foist another man's child on him. A bit of maturity would go a long way.
Later in the book he totally redeems himself, is utterly smitten, but I can't help but wonder if she upset him again whether he'd resort to his other personality and treat her badly. Because he loves her all is forgiven when her life is totally controlled by others leaving her few choices. In the end of course she chooses to be with him. ( )
