However, Hazard is hesitant and skeptical about the idea of marriage, and he sets out to find a wife who meets his high standards. The novel is a humorous commentary on the social norms and expectations of marriage in the mid-19th century. Weems uses the character of Hazard to poke fun at the idea of marriage as a means of social status and financial security.
