She was doing housework for a man she didn't want to marry. She even states that she doesn't want to get married and that she's only marrying him for her mother's sake. She's performing her duties as a wife out of obligation and societal pressure. Of course, her husband cannot be blamed for this at all, but for her it must feel like she's a slave - working without pay out of fear that she'll be socially ostracised .
I have opposing feelings about this one. She wasn’t enslaved by a man in particular. Just many circumstances lead her to that point, to get engaged in the relationship which was bound to be broken. First of all I accuse her weakness. Happy that she mustered up all the courage and went with the way which would bring her happiness.
