She did not find that a marriage service generated love; she did not enable her husband to recapture his youth through hers; nor could she compensate for that by running his home in the manner of an experienced housekeeper.” This quote illustrates that Elias Strorm was very cruel to her that she died after her second child was born. She was a beautiful, young woman who Elias turned into a very dull person. She always wanted him to be happy and be a good person, but that did not happen, he was just unfair and unpleasant to everyone. To conclude Elias Strorm’s wife is a good supporter of her husband as well as Emily Strorm. The role of women does demonstrate bystanders and supporters of their husbands and family member.
Faulks shows her to have nervous and obeying characteristics, that lack of eye contact could be seen as devotion and dedication to her husband, or a lack of self-confidence and a dislike of slight confrontation. She is also shown, even though she is the wife of Monsieur Azaire, to be quite low in the ranking of the house hold. When we are first introduced to Isabelle, we only know that her name is Madame Aziare as she is formally introduced by Azaire as ‘My wife’. This makes the reader feel that she is not respected by her husband as he does not even address her with her name. We are also shown this through how little others engage with her in group conversation and how what she says is shot down and many of the male characters in the novel mock her slightly.

Along with that, she’s married to Curley who she never really loved thus making it even lonelier for her. Also, since she’s married she can’t follow her dream of being a movie star which she confesses to George and Lennie.

Though John had already confessed his affair in front of the entire court, when Elizabeth is questioned she denies it, claiming that “[her] husband is a goodly man” (3.949-50). Her lying is understandable though because naturally when people are placed in situations where their words literally determine the life or death of a loved one, they will lie to protect them. However, it is not seen that way, and causes controversy since Proctor previously claimed that his wife never lied; this is a turning point in Elizabeth’s character because it proves Elizabeth still loves her husband enough to even defy her commitment to always tell the truth. Later, after the court deems John as a threat, both Elizabeth and John are sentenced to prison allowing Elizabeth ample time to properly assess her marital problems. She eventually comes to the conclusion that the affair was partially her fault and confesses to John that “[she] counted [herself] so plain, so poorly made; no honest love could come to [her]”
And this contrasts with how she felt when she belonged and had her identity in America.
