Well, quite - **SPOILERS** if I'm not mistaken, he forced her to marry him against her will, r.aped her, then gradually broke her down using psychoanalytical assertions that she was crazy. That he happened to be somewhat correct about the trauma in her past doesn't take away from the fact that he added to it, and I kind of saw the happy ending as an ironic comment on how much he - and society - gets away with.

I haven't seen the remake, but the original is almost perfect so I can't imagine there was a need for it.
