casual observers might think that george's and charles's sufferings are unified but in actuality they are different. george's suffering is self-denial in that he is denying himself the catharsis of his own suffering. all is well in the house of mercedes nothing is good but everything is just fine.... whereas charles lives in his own suffering. he is married to it. he takes it on for himself and internalizes it. all is not well and i am suffering because the noble thing to do is live within my agony. and in this way george's suffering is inherently protestant and charles's suffering is inherent catholic send post
