In 'The Scarlet Letter', Hester Prynne is shunned and 'blackened' in the eyes of the Puritan community for having a child out of wedlock. However, as the story progresses, we realize that she is a strong and morally complex character. The society's initial view of her as a fallen woman is a form of 'blackening' her character, but she rises above it through her grace and inner strength.
Another example could be in some mystery novels where a wife is wrongly suspected of a crime, which 'blackens' her reputation. In Agatha Christie's works, sometimes the wife character might be initially framed or suspected, like in 'Murder on the Orient Express', where various false assumptions are made about the characters, and a wife - like some of the female passengers - could be among those wrongly suspected at first, until the real truth is uncovered.
One well - known 'wife drugged story' is in Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'. Lady Macbeth drugs the guards to create an opportunity for Macbeth to kill King Duncan. This act of drugging is a key part of the plot's build - up, leading to a series of tragic events.
There is also the story of Odysseus and Penelope in 'The Odyssey'. When Odysseus returns home after many years, Penelope has remained faithful but is in a difficult situation. The reunion could be seen as a sort of stripping away of the false suitors and the hardships she has endured, and she is restored to her rightful place as Odysseus' wife.
Another example could be from some Victorian era novels. There were times when a wife's behavior that deviated from the strict social norms was punished. If a wife was too outspoken or showed interest in things not considered proper for women, she might face social isolation as a form of punishment. Her husband might also restrict her activities and interactions until she conformed to the expected behavior.
One example could be in the novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. Elizabeth Bennet can be seen as a strong - willed 'dominate' figure in some ways. She is not afraid to speak her mind and challenge Mr. Darcy, which goes against the typical submissive female role of that era.
The play 'Hedda Gabler' also has elements that could be related to wife NTR. Hedda is married but she has a complex relationship with other characters, especially Lovborg. Her actions and feelings towards him while being married to Tesman create a sort of 'intrusion' into the expected norms of marriage.
There are also some fictional tales where the stepson's so - called 'attraction' to the wife is misinterpreted. Maybe his actions are just out of a need for maternal love that he misplaces. In a story like that, the wife realizes this and helps the stepson understand the difference between appropriate family love and inappropriate feelings.
In some old - fashioned novels, there might be such stories presented in a very different cultural context. For example, in certain period - piece novels set in the Victorian era, there could be mentions of a husband's overbearing behavior which might include something like spanking as a form of 'disciplinary' action. But these are often presented to show the unequal power dynamics between men and women in that era and are not to be condoned in modern values.
One example could be in some old folktales where a man's desperation or greed leads him to wager his wife in a bet. However, these are often moral tales warning against such vices.
One story could be from some classic family - centered novels where a couple is trying to start a family. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Mr. Bingley and Jane's relationship leads to marriage and the idea of starting a family which is a form of this concept in a more innocent and traditional sense.
There are also folktales from different cultures. In some Asian folktales, a wife might be forced to endure hardships when her husband goes off to war or on a long journey. She has to take on all the family responsibilities alone, facing poverty and the judgment of society. This shows the strength and resilience that wives in such stories often display.
