The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenged the prevailing morals of the
Victorian era. Especially shocking, at the time, was Helen's
slamming of her bedroom door in the face of her husband, thereby
overturning the sexual politics. It is considered to be one of the
first feminist novels. The main character, Helen, is spirited and
forthright, unafraid to speak to the men in her life with
frankness. Anne Bront portrays this as desirable, compared to the
meekness of Milicent, who is trampled and ignored by her
unrepentant husband. Vice is not unique to the men, however; Lady
Lowborough's adultery has a particularly devastating effect on her
husband, and the malice of Eliza Millward is poisonous to the
entire community.
