However, in both the stories the attitude towards marriage is like a trap. Eveline having a choice between getting married and running away from problems and in the case of Mrs. Mooney herself trapped in a meaningless marriage and trying to marry her daughter off before it is too late for a decent proposal.

Eveline decided to opt her family over somebody she was not certain she loved, Frank.
