About This Quote
In the quote: “For in other ways a woman is full of fear, defenseless, dreads the sight of cold steel; but, when once she is wronged in the matter of love, no other soul can hold so many thoughts of blood.”, we can see how women throughout history have been defenseless and caused by fear. Even though men had the upper hand they still felt fear. The words that they used were also filled with fear. It was because of this that men used to feel that way and it was important for them to know that their women loved them back.
