Maud and Perfectionism
It seems to be a sad and ancient tale that Maud's married life was so unhappy in spite of her perfectionism.
Ewan, being provided on a daily basis with delicious meals and a clean home and nice clothes, seems to never notice that the spot where he has landed in life is so much better than some.
Why couldn't Maud make him happy??
This perfectionism doesn't work.
I tend to think that Maud's perfectionism was her way of masking deeper feelings of weakness.
Just my plundering brain, writing this out....
