It contends women seek both male and female approval, warning that future husbands may resent a wife who dismisses other women. The prose hints at societal expectations and marriage norms of the era.
A reflection on home life comparing it to a knightly shield with two sides. It argues that a consistently self sacrificing person, usually a woman, may be taken for granted. The piece asserts justice, not unselfishness alone, should guide family relations for lasting harmony.
