A bad marriage with not a lot of possibilities to choose from...

Interesting enough, this episode did have its twist in the middle, rather than the end, and it worked, as I was truly surprised. I do think this episode makes you think about the choices we make, and what "true love" is really about, is it enough? or should we look much deeper when we choose a spouse. However! the problem with the story here is that - first of all, who's to say that the other man was any good at all?? Anne might have been in just as worst a situation with the other guy her father meant for her to marry, and the story did not pay any attention to that very plausible possibility. The best thing for her to have done was to go to school and forget about getting married at all. but those were different times...

Acting could also have been better too, and quite over reaching... the script could have been better as well, suggesting Anne was a spoiled brat, when what she had meant was probably that she would be better off on her own.
