In "The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband," ADVERSARIAL is the best description of the nature of the relationship between Mrs. Tall and the tailor's wife.
Adversarial is defined as a group or person who opposes or attacks. In this story, the tailor's wife attacks Mrs. TAll by humiliating her and spreading false stories about the couple.
A. Helen of Troy was blamed for starting the Trojan war. I hope this helped :)
