Hideyoshi is Eva’s lighthouse emotionally bc he loves/cares/protects/provides (in his own flawed often inherently misogynistic ways) within his role as a husband/man but he is also her anchor to Society (and all of its ills) bc being with him means performing her prescribed role as a wife/woman…multiple things can be true, and in this case, MUST be true for the story to make sense. Like by their society’s standards, in their time period, he is a good husband! Like their relationship stands out among the siblings BECAUSE it is Successful in the eyes of society (compared to say Krauss, Rudolf, Rosa’s situations). Which is not a good thing! Even if they have sweet moments (and I want to have sex with them both who said that). Like this is as good as it’s going to get for Eva within the framework of the society she lives in. And it’s still Not Good. #tragedy
