She had married a vulgar man; and, though she had not become like the man, she had become vulgar

She had married a vulgar man; and, though she had not become like the man, she had become vulgar

In Anthony Trollope's novels, particularly in his exploration of marriage and social class, the theme of a woman being influenced by her husband's behavior is a recurring one. The quote "She had married a vulgar man; and, though she had not become like the man, she had become vulgar" encapsulates this idea perfectly.
