About this Quote

This quote by Jean Giraudoux is a commentary on the traditional expectations of females in marriage. It suggests that loyal females are anticipated to be devoted to their other halves, but not to think on their own. The quote suggests that women are expected to be loyal and obedient, but not to have their own ideas or opinions. This is a reflection of the patriarchal society in which Giraudoux lived, where women were expected to be subservient to their partners. The quote also indicates that ladies are not valued for their own thoughts and viewpoints, but just for their commitment and fidelity. This is a pointer of the unequal power dynamics in between men and women in standard marriages. Giraudoux's quote is a reminder of the requirement for gender equality in marital relationship and society. It is a call for ladies to be appreciated and valued for their own ideas and opinions, and not just for their loyalty and fidelity.
