Certainly, the man bedeviled by the woman is a very common theme in the books I'm reading.Ethan Frome is no different than King Arthur, Charles Bovary, Hardy's Jude or John Flory.
Females always strutting their stuff for the menfolk and, of course, the men can't control their privates and all hell breaks loose.
Let's see: Charles and Jude die after a major heartbreak. King Arthur is pretty down about his situation when he goes. John Flory kills himself. Ethan Frome might as well.
