As she navigates her feelings for the enigmatic Peltier, Verlaine artfully examines the constraints imposed by society and the complexities of human relationships. With its rich character development and evocative dialogue, "Madame Aubin" invites students, civic activists, and historians alike to reflect on the timeless struggle between personal longing and societal expectations.
