Musing on the widespread nature of marital infidelity in French life, Honoré de Balzac provides a satirical critique of the institution of marriage and the fraught gender relations between men and women. In a series of meditations, he argues that married women frequently take lovers because they are sheltered too severely before marriage, leading to intense and justifiable unhappiness.
