Summary "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, February 14, 1891" by Various is a collection of humorous essays and illustrations penned during the late 19th century, specifically the Victorian era. This periodical offers a satirical look at contemporary issues, social norms, and moral standards, reflecting the attitudes and cultural dynamics of its time. The content of this volume features various comedic pieces, one of which is titled "The Tolerated Husband." This essay outlines the plight of a man who, having been financially irresponsible, becomes reliant on a wealthy friend to support his extravagant lifestyle and that of his beautiful wife. Instead of confronting his moral decay, the husband tolerates the affair, leading to a life of shame yet outwardly maintaining a façade of acceptance and good cheer. Other segments touch upon music, politics, and society's grievances, showcasing Punch’s characteristic wit through clever illustrations and sharp commentary on the follies of human behavior. Overall, the volume serves as both entertainment and critical reflection on Victorian society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
