seduced by billionaire

Chapter# 3

" Her suffering has started and " chasm" separates her past from the future life"

Emmy becomes a poor, helpless and relatively, who is limited in her options for making money and is placed at the mercy of the men with whom she must deal.

Emmy's life-story and which are most responsible for her apparently foreordained and unalterable misery.

Is it her struggle against a cruel, social and economic system in which as a young, poor, innocent woman, she can not find a position guaranteeing her safety from a powerful rich man like Addison?

Her struggle is simply a one against a cruel world, actively set against the possibilities of human happiness?

Addison was "potentially the 'tragic mischief'_ one who stood fair to be the blood-red ray in the spectrum of her life".That he is a gallant or a lover is apparent from his first words: " Well, my Beauty, what can I do for you?" His reputation as a " gallant", or a lady-killer who pursues his desires in a self-centered fashion, is already well-established in the road where they both meet. He exhibits a casual air of command, an ease with the power, particularly that over women, that his social and economic position gives him.

" Gentle roosting birds in their last nap"

Like these birds, Emmy is sleeping and vulnerable.

" Where was the Emmy's guardian angel?". god, r some other forces which should protect the innocent seems to be absent from at least this part of the world. Emmy seduced by Addison.

Emmy has ended her isolation and participates in the housework. One day at noon Emmy nurses her illegitimate baby but later afternoon it is apparent that the baby, never large or healthy, is now sick and dying. Emmy realizes she must get the baby baptized, Emmy improvises a baptismal ceremony, but after a few time baby dies. Baby being buried in consecrated ground, the baby is buried in a corner of the graveyard.

Emmy remains in isolation, She realizes that she could never be comfortable in a place which knew about her recent history.

"Emmy vows to start a new life..."

That incident gives a sense of changes Emmy is going through physically, spiritually and psychologically.

Emmy being a " Maiden No More"...

she is no longer a virgin, having been Addison's lover. By such reasoning, Emmy is a completely different person who no longer can be accorded the respect given to an untouched or a married woman.

In this more positive sense, Emmy is a "Maiden No More" because her experiences have altered her sensations, her perspectives, and her knowledge of the world. She is now a woman and not a child, not merely because she is not a virgin, but because she has painfully accumulated knowledge of life's dangers and burdens.

From moral disapproval's point Emmy feels does not solely come from society or other people. Emmy's conscience functions as her most powerful critic. Her consciousness that she is guilty and sinful is great. when looked at within the context of natural life, which implies the necessity of growth and generation, her activities have been normal and unexceptionable, not sinful or shameful but Emmy looked upon herself as a figure of Guilt intruding into the haunts of innocence.

She had been made to break an accepted social law, but no law known to the environment in which she fancied herself such an anomaly." The conventional disapproval Emmy feels so keenly is nothing more than a creation of her fancy, " a cloud of moral hobgoblins" with no foundation in the most real of worlds, the natural one.

Events that occur between the night in the Addison's house unforgettable for Emmy. Thus we are left with difficulty in determining what has happened between Emmy and Addison and are uncertain about how much Emmy truly acceded to Addison's pursuit of her. Did she want or accept this s****l relationship at any time, or was it always something forced on her by Addison? Was the incident in the night a seduction or a rape?

"A little more than persuading had to do with...it"

He took of her helplessness, she disliked him and had run away. Emmy cannot share in the world's s****l hypocrisy and will not partake of the arrangements by which men and women trick each other into marriage. Emmy is too honest and takes marriage too seriously to be like many other women who get married only to avoid scandal.

" The past was passed"

Emmy finally realizes that " The past was past; whatever it had been it was no more at hand". Emmy is not "demoralized". She assimilates her experience and finds a way to re-enter life, to put the past behind her.

" There is more life to be lived"

A spirit of " unexpended youth" has not been permanently stilled by her sufferings, and the "Invincible instinct towards self-delight given to all creatures draws Emmy out of her isolation and self-punishment and into further engagement with the world.

Emmy is so depressed " She could have hidden herself in a tomb".
