If the resolution is never made, the responsibility never embraced, then the love-craving will run on into frenzy, and lay waste to the family.

In the woman particularly the love-craving will run on to frenzy and disaster.
Seeking, seeking the fulfillment in the deep passional self; diseased with self-consciousness and sex in the head, foiled by the very loving weakness of the husband who has not the courage to withdraw into his own stillness and singleness, and put the wife under the spell of his fulfilled decision; the unhappy woman beats about for her insatiable satisfaction, seeking whom she may devour.

And usually, she turns to her child.

Here she provokes what she wants.

Here, in her own son who belongs to her, she seems to find the last perfect response for which she is craving.
