Document Summary
The closest she ever came to emotion from him was when she was dead. Poor child attitudes towards women, calling her a child. Last line even though im dead atleast hes still alive. A bit self-centered because shes mad everyone is having fun and shes dead. Died without a mate you needed a guy, you had no choice so it"s a big deal to die without a husband. Roses are too red she doesn"t need passion now. Woman in the victorian period were supposed to deny themselves and think about other people"s wants and needs not hers. Cottage maiden: rural, she works outside a lot. She was lured in and he took her virginity. He abandons her like a dirty glove. Lady kate he marries her cousin not her. She had his son and kate cant have kids, and the lord needs a male heir. My shame my pride shameful because hes born out of wedlock but hes her son.
