Dear teachers,
Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
Mary is a clinging vine; she cannot do anything without her husband.
a clinging vine = a weak, helpless wife which depends on his husband entirely; a very dependent woman; a woman who needs much love and encouragement from a man.
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V
