“precautions”, he tried to express his love even more toward his wife.

Agnes’s falsehood primarily commenced the problems and destruction of the…

her feel bad about herself and her decisions while torturing her by putting her in front of all the handmaids. The aunts did not shown any sympathy for Janine after knowing she had to go through the pain of being raped.

active participant in the story. In the fabliaux, the husbands are the ones that the author sways readers to feel sympathy for; because of the sexist views, gender norms, and marital expectations.

out the defenceless Dimmesdale; but when given a second glance Roger is “... a leech sucking the life from his patient” (111). Towards the end Hester begs Chillingworth to leave Arthur alone, but even to his wife he doesn’t show a simple sign of sympathy.
