Now he realizes that his life will not change. The tinker, just like her husband Henry, did not appreciate her. He must learn that he must be content with his unsatisfactory lifestyle. Her devastation when she comes to this realization leaves her “weeping feebly like an old woman” (448). Elisa is clearly very dissatisfied with her life, but she will not face this unhappiness. She hides her emotions from her husband. Just like the rain that never comes to face the fog. Elisa will never be able to change her life and will always submit to her husband and will be caged in a marriage with a man who shows very little interest in her as a person.
