East Wind: Girl, Woman-Object. A true story

"East Wind" manifests the repeated history of the use and abuse of women in societies with economic inequalities. The unprotected succumb to the power of those who, with wealth, obtain what they cannot receive with love.The "arranged marriage" between a wealthy old man and a teenage girl, from a poor family, has been common for centuries. There are three elements that "cauterize the conscience" of the parents: it is presupposed that the pressing need to get out of misery, of not being able to support a large family is the first element; second, the thought that the girl will be better marrying someone who will not miss anything to make her happy; and finally the idea that love will be born with time and everything will be fine.The author of "East Wind" wrote this story with knowledge of cause, being one of his grandmothers the protagonist of the story.
