Review
Is This An Overview?
Eveline is thinking of running away from home. Family life has become burdensome. Eveline is mistreated at home, and needs to
work. The situation is difficult, but is
seen in a different manner when running away has become an option. Running away has the appeal of being treated
better, and the prospect of status that marriage would bring. Eveline and Frank have made arrangements to
depart. But Eveline is hesitant. What choice does Eveline make?
