The book ends by reminding the reader of Olivia's damaged mental health, explaining that to be used and abused the way she was, to be treated like property-that those mistreatments were damaging, and therefore, she needs to heal. True love and self loveĪlthough Olivia finds meaning in her marriage to Augustus, she chooses the path of self love instead of romantic love. Honeywood, not falling for any more tricks. When she realizes the truth, she passes on Augustus and leaves him, and she also declines Mr. This is because Olivia is like property to Augustus.
Her own husband is already married, and has been lying to her, using her for sexual company, and for the money of course. It is established by her father's will, which is literally patriarchy, and it is based on a lie. The mistreatment of womenĪlthough Olivia enjoys marriage, that doesn't mean this marriage is beneficial to her. Ultimately, she decides to flee her home and the persecution and mistreatment she endures there. With this binocular point of view, she learns how to do what is best for herself. Written by Darlene Castro and other people who wish to remain anonymousĪs a half-black person, Olivia finds it difficult to connect with others, because typically her community either mistreats her for being part black (many in town are racist, even in England), and she is often not considered "black enough" for many.
