In the House of Flowers the main character leaves a house of prostitution to go live with a man she "loves" who ends up tying her to a tree all day as punishment. Apparently, he didn't want to do it, but the ghost of his grandmother would "otherwise never leave her in peace." When friends from the brothel come to save Ottilie, she insists they retie her to the tree so she'll be in the same place when her beloved returns. Even looking at this story through the lens of a bygone era, it's still extremely disturbing.
