Very long discussions and juatifications of people's feelings. Obsolete views of women and their role, every story is about love and sex. Lots of killing for a girl, everybody just starts loving deeply without actually knowing the person. Altogether - an old book. Lots of stories though that make you question how anybody could write some of those.
