She then throws her over the slave an take a couple of strokes before her husband gives up and leaves. When she publish her letter,that she has written to a friend about what have been going on,her marriage is over. This woman has lived for real and she helped people get up the eyes for what was going on. Her husband wasn`t a evil man but he didn`t stand for something in a time were you should not really speak your mind.
