‘François...’ She thought back to the softness of his lips, the warmth of his body, his delicate hands... She had wanted so much to give herself to him every day of her life... Life was too cruel! It wasn’t enough that she had lost François; on top of that she had to be defiled by by a man she detested, until the day she died!
“François, why didn’t I die with you?”
She arrived at the cemetery, and the moment her feet hit the ground she ran and flung herself, sobbing, on the tomb of her love.
Why was she only a woman? Why must she submit to her parents’ will? If she had been a boy, so many possibilities would have been open to her. Her parents wouldn’t have dragged her out to the husband fair the moment she turned sixteen. She could have left here. She could have become a soldier and served France. But no! She was a woman. No matter what her dreams or feelings were, her destiny was to become a docile wife! She had to marry no matter what, even if it meant marrying absolutely anyone. Why couldn’t she be her own person? Could she do nothing to prevent her body from being sold like some piece of merchandise? No, she wouldn’t accept such a life!
