Stella seems to have a superficial understanding of her husband. She is impressed by his sexuality and she is complacent in his abuse towards her. Stella seems to lack the emotional maturity to see her husband for what he is.

There relation is entirely based upon sextual desires. He abuses her many times but it seems as she is used to all this stuff . Perhaps they are living for a long time that has made a bond between the two . We can also see patriarchal elements in their relation
