Allison challenges religious scholars and biblical principles for the purpose of justifying her marriage with her fifth husband. Not only does she challenge religion, but also attempts to neutralize a deviance of the norms typically held by men and women. “In championing experience, the Wife sets up a series of oppositions, between the practical and the ideal, between the private and the public, and between women and men. In particular, though, she establishes an opposition between herself as an uneducated woman and book-learned church authorities such as Saint Jerome” (Arnell 14).…

    From William Cullen Bryant: “He chose / A bride among their maidens. And at length / Seemed to forget, − yet ne’er forgot, −the wife / Of his first love, and her sweet little ones / Butchered, amid their shrieks, with all his race.
