Quote #10
But from death, her ultimate master, she winced with fear and shame. (2.134)
This is the last line of the story. You can check out "What's Up with the Ending?" for more details about this moment, but we'd like you to think about why Elizabeth feels shame in particular here. Fear we get, but is this the shame of having somehow totally misjudged her husband? Or something else? Your guess is as good as ours . . .
