This is a work of fiction that starts out by showing marriage (sex) as being the way to let out one's true passion and true self. The use of subtle magical realism helps the author to tell of the enjoyable and the frightening aspects that co-exist while experiencing sex within the marriage. Men are beasts, or at least compared to them. A woman is not supposed to know more than the man wants her to. When she tries to find out more, she is rejected by all men. This includes her father.
