Document Summary
Starts romance, a story about love, and ends in a grisly murder/homicide scene. Women are taught, by the lives of men, to live up to all their vices, and are become almost as inconstant (end of page 2) Maybe women are good by nature but by being around men we are tainted". Killed her first husband because of what society would say. Killed her second husband because of what he would say. Modesty made her commit those acts, the fear of what others would say. Ideal widow goes into mourning for three years after henault is supposed to have died in war: model of constancy here. Isabella grew up in a female-dominant space, therefore not taught by men: women are taught to be inconstant. Isabella"s inconstancy to her vow and to women is what really got violated. Isabella was worried about judgement, how people would look at her and how her image would be tarnished.
