Rebecca de winter7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() " It wasn't enough for her to take my pride," he says. This powerful principle of inheritance and legacy that drives Maxim was the key to him killing Rebecca. Knowing I could never do that to our name." Earlier in the film, Maxim speaks about his love of Manderley and the pressure he feels to uphold his family name (his sister's sons, who are in line to inherit the house if Maxim doesn't have an heir, are described as fine young men but " not de Winters"). Just a few days after they were married, Rebecca lifted the veil and outright told him that she had never loved him, and that she intended to maintain her flat in London and keep a string of lovers despite their marriage. Rebecca paints a portrait of Maxim de Winter as the victim of long-term emotional abuse, who was trapped in a marriage that was daily torment for him, but seemed perfect from the outside. ![]()

Cousin Bette by Honoré de Balzac7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() In this novel, Balzac searchingly probes the psychology and motivations of his characters: his work influenced the development of literary realism, as practised by writers such as Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Proust, and Henry James. The stability and idealism of the old order give way to a new bourgeois world in which virtue is strangled in the struggle for power and money. Cousin Bette by Honor de Balzac Translated by Kathleen Raine. Cousin Bette (1846) is considered to be Balzacs last great novel, and a key work. ![]() Set in mid-19th-century France, it tells the story of a woman. It was part of his long novel collection titled La Comédie Humaine. Set in mid-19th-century France, it tells the story of a woman who resents her position as a "poor relation." As we follow her schemes to bring ruin upon the more privileged members of her family, we see a society in transition. Bette is a wronged soul and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says.

"Having satisfied his most urgent needs," Ludwig von Mises wrote in Human Action, he considers the satisfaction of the still unsatisfied needs less desirable than the satisfaction of his striving after leisure." The disutility of labor comes quickly with our self-confidence. ![]() The confidence to spend our paychecks is constant we obligate ourselves for years of high interest payments without a thought and even with some pride. After all, it's one of the first things we ask when we meet someone: "What do you do for a living?"ĭuring the boom, with full employment, we all feel invincible on the job. Not only do we trade our time and talent to put food on the table, but for many of us, our work defines us as people.

Reviewers were naturally intrigued by the similarities between character and author. So unsettled is she by invasive questions about her lack of a husband and children that she takes in a lazy, abusive lodger just to deflect them.
