The women of classical literature have always arisen from the brilliant minds of genius men; Antigone, who stood before the king in honor of her brother in her spilled blood; Medea who killed her sons due to her husband's betrayal with her painful mythological primitiveness; Anna Karenina, who saw no other way than death in front of her in the confrontation of wife, love, and motherhood; But Bovary, who saw infatuation, instability, and betrayal, and at the end of the path that left him with notoriety and poverty, chose death like Anna and...; All these women in the narrative of men, their tragic destiny, although bright, but with great sadness remained in us, and our insistence on salvation will not heal the endless pain they have endured. "Edith Wharton", however, was a woman who wrote women's stories and narrated her women with all their secrets and flaws, against the existing order, rebellious and revealing. "Lily Barrett", one of the women of this American writer, the hero of the book "House of Happiness", has the same desires as the women of her time, but neither creates a tragedy nor has a tragic fate. The hero of the novel House of Happiness wants a wife and family, he wants peace and wealth and a happy life, he wants attention, love, and tension, and... therefore, he has not sacrificed any of them for the other, and he leads the rebellion against the capitalist male world in the direction he wants, even though there is no rebellion without casualties and pain! Wharton portrays a woman who does not have the naivety of the collapsed women of male literature, she is fascinated by life, and she knows the joy of the game of two people, but her passion and desire do not lead her to mire and destruction; Lily Barrett is a woman who has understood the rules of the game of her time, although living in fear and amazement is the inevitable nature of her time; A society that has collapsed from morals and is delusional in its civilization; Dream America!
