The double standard of men being able to have mistresses, even giving them official positions, has always boiled my blood

So messed up! A wife is thrown out if she has an affair and becomes destitute but it’s ok and expected for the husband.

Although this is a bit of reach it was hard for me not to see more symbolism in the Apple, Eve and biblical reference were so often used against women

We have come so far in our liberation and yet this still permeates in modern times

1) This is such a great example of male logic: A double standard that ultimately dooms the entire family and destroys his bloodline, the very thing

There is a masculine equivalency?

That was really interesting. I wish the third painting had the fallen woman succeeding at her own business though with a nice apartment and car!

Interesting that they didn’t see the second image as also being the failure of the father since it would have been his responsibility to look after

I think her daughter and her were looking at the same moon. 💔

I also noticed that the girl in the first painting looking at her mother is the eldest daughter. In the second painting, she is still looking at her.

were paintings like this produced to scare women or would they have been commissioned by an individual for personal enjoyment?

I’m doing my a level literature coursework on Rossetti’s goblin market and one of the main themes is Laura being portrayed as a fallen woman.

The arch under the bridge is a real place. They actually built a little mortuary in it, because so many people were unaliving themselves there.

These historic lessons are so sad. I don’t know whether to be grateful for them or haunted by them.

You might want to read Zola’s book L’Assommoir. It was a huge hit in France in the late 19th Century.

Gotta love the misogyny of the patriarchal society. Still alive & well today in many, many ways.😏
