About this Quote

In this quote, Queen Victoria reveals her belief that individuals often rush into marriage without completely thinking about the prospective effects. She sees marriage as a gamble, without any warranty of happiness. This is particularly real for ladies who may not have the exact same chances and liberties as guys. Queen Victoria suggests that marital relationship may not constantly bring the happiness and security that society anticipates it to. She might be speaking from personal experience, as her own marriage to Prince Albert was set up and not constantly a pleased one. Overall, Queen Victoria's words warn versus the societal pressure to wed and highlights the possible risks and unpredictabilities included.
