Marie. I think both of these women were very strange, but George (Aurore Dudevant) was able to consumate her literary talent, in fact she was considered to be one of the most brilliant writers of her time, althoughshe is now known primarily for her decade long relationship with Chopin. Marie never quite made it as a writer, and this only exacerbated an already shrewish petulant personality. Sand was more cunning and calculated in her actions vis a vis Chopin, which points to a more stable emotional temprment, although she was evil IMO.
