Ethan Frome

In the book Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton the main character, Ethan is overcome with responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities are implied but Ethan's life is still affected by them.

Ethan thought about running away with Mattie to the west. Once there he could start a family with her and Zeena could sell the farm back home. "Since the farm and mill were mortgaged to the limit of their value she couldn't sell it, and even if she found a purchaser-in itself an unlikely chance-it was doubtful if she could clear a thousand dollars on the sale. It was only by incessant labo
