A study in contrast this drama depicts the oppressed atmosphere' of a small town on the banks of the Volga Ri ver - a “dark kingdom" of unlimited small-town authority, rigidity, and pretty despotism. It is this severe world that the sensitive and idealistic Katerina rejects. Katerina marries into the family of Marfa Kabanova, a bnjtish matn'airthal figure.
