As the image suggests, this is a complex tale of claustrophobic family relations. A wife kills her sister, for having fallen in love with her husband. This is not the first example of violence, in that she had already killed another woman her husband was having an affair with. The husband is, without justification, condemned to death, and saved at the last.
