William Faulkner's short story titled, "Two Dollar Wife" from 1936, implies what type of relationship between the man and woman in the story?

Question

Shadow · Answer

I am not sure how much $2 was back then, it may have been considerable (so I am not sure if he is undervaluing his wife somehow) but at least he is ascribing a monetary value to his wife, meaning that's what he views her as.
