So, there's this guy Ethan Frome and he has a terrible life with miserable circumstances. He falls in love with Mattie Silver; however, he's already married to Zeena, the evil witch, unfortunately. Poor Man. And then Mattie and Ethan try to commit suicide but fail. Woe is Ethan. I feel bad for the man, but what's the point of the book? I don't think it enhanced my life in any way. The only thing it did make me happy about was that I'm not Ethan Frome.
