1.Happiness in marriage
2.Emotional Satisfaction
3. Emotional Gap​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 ) Happiness in marriage

Answer 2

It indicates an emotional gap.

• The question has been asked from the poem The Farmer's Wife by Anne Sexton.
• Her spouse was completely ignorant of who she was as a person. Despite the fact that a part of him fully enclosed him, he retains his ability.
• The woman was unable to change her circumstances. So she believes and wants him to be crippled, since then he may share her agony and be able to sense her inner thoughts; or figure out who she is.
• It expresses an emotional gap between them. The wife was even lonesome and believed that by doing so, she will demonstrate to him how important she is.
