\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The Doctor’s Wife <\/span><\/i>by Mary Elizabeth Braddon is oddly lacking in the
\nmost dramatic elements <\/span>of sensational novels. <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Isabel Sleaford lives in a dream world where
\npeople from Dickens, Scott, and Thackeray’s books live. She wants to leave her
\ntedious job as a governor for kids and live the exciting life of one of the
\nmain characters in the books she loves. When parish doctor George Gilbert asks
\nher to marry him, she says yes. However, she soon realizes her marriage
\nisn’t giving her the excitement and drama she hopes for. Nothing close
\nenough to the amazing passionate love stories and novels she has been obsessed
\nwith. She wanted a hero or a real Byronic hero<\/span> to save her and fall
\nin love passionately with. And to live in an aristocratic home. <\/span>George is a good man, but Isabel thinks he’s
\ndull because he’s realistic and down-to-earth. She is even more unhappy after meeting Roland Lansdell, Mordred Priory’s owner. Roland is passionate,
\nartistic, and creative, which is to say that he is everything George
\nisn’t. The main point of The Doctor’s Wife is how Isabel Gilbert changes from a
\ndreamy girl with her head in the clouds to a reasonable, grown-up woman. She
\nwas childish and foolish, wishing she would get sick or have something bad
\nhappen to her just to have some excitement in her life. However, as
\nseveral other characters pointed out, she wasn’t a bad person, just silly
\nand immature. Sadly, her love ideas and goals were getting in the way
\nof her happiness.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Due to Isabel’s reading, almost every page references characters
\nand events from other books, plays, and poems, most of which I haven’t read. I
\nkept having to look at the notes at the back of the book until I decided I
\ncould follow the story without understanding all the references to Edith Dombey
\nand Ernest Maltravers.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>She fell deeply in love with Roland Landsell, so she emotionally gave him all her heart and mind. However, she said she didn\u2019t
\ncheat on her husband and repeatedly said, “he is good to me.\u201d So is she
\njust ambitious, selfish, or immature and foolish, or is she a wicked wife? <\/p>\n
\nthe type of fiction Miss Braddon had previously written. It has temptation
\ninstead of crime, psychological analysis instead of suspense, and, more
\nremarkably, atmosphere, nostalgia, and sentiment. George Moore called this
\nnovel “a derivative of Madame Bovary,” found in its heroine Emma
\nBovary in ready-made English dress, and several aspects of his own novel which
\nhave till now been taken as borrowings from Flaubert, derive in fact from Miss Braddon.
