A Misfortune
She loves me. She loves me not.
Sofya Petrovna wants to be a good wife -- a good mother -- she wants to do the right thing.
Ilyin, the lawyer, is madly in love with her.
She wants him to go. Or does she?
When she's true to her feelings -- she realizes that she can't be a good wife -- or a good mother -- because she too is in love.
In love with the idea of romance -- in love with the drama of love -- -- and bored with her husband -- bored with her life.
She wants to conform -- but she can't.
She is young and needs fire and Ilyin the lawyer is burning.
And there she goes.
