Problems.

Reasons for the domestic unhappi-

try to find separation in the civil
courts but find that there are other
things which bind them TO each other.

although it exposes an evil and brings
TO light the ugly side of domestic life.
it does not convey feeling of being
forced on the theater-goer who sees il.
