Clarisa’s husband is a judge who lives a life of almost complete seclusion in his bedroom. He locks himself away after the birth of their second child, who—like their first—is cognitively disabled. From then on, he only communicates with Clarisa through his door when she comes by to drop off his meals for him. The judge’s abandonment of his wife and children leaves Clarisa with the sole burden of caring for them all, and although she politely tends to her husband for the remainder of her life, there’s no love lost between them.

Story 3: Clarisa
Quotes
The midwife advised [Clarisa] that in all probability she would give birth to another abnormal child, but Clarisa mollified her with the argument that God maintains a certain equilibrium in the universe, and just as He creates some things twisted, He creates others straight; for every virtue there is a sin, for every joy an affliction, for every evil a good, and so on, for as the wheel of life turns through the centuries, everything evens out. The pendulum swings back and forth with inexorable precision, she said.
