Chapter 1 - 6

As soon as I opened the the book and began reading, the irony of the first two paragraphs really stood out to me. Where it says that all rich, single men want a wife it struck me as odd because it was the women who wanted a rich man to marry in order to save themselves from poverty and despair. In the second paragraph it talks about how the men were considered the woman's property when it was women who were usually objectified like that.
