This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by a poet named George Eliot. Eliot's poem is about a girl who is raped by a man who is her future husband, and the girl's future husband is the man she will marry after she is raped. Eliot tells the story of the girl who was raped by the man who was her future lover. The girl was raped because she was a virgin, and Eliot tells us that she was taught that a virgin's body was only seen by the future husband. Eliot says that she is ashamed of herself for being a virgin. She says that her master taught her that she should only have her body seen by a future husband and that if anyone saw it, she would chop the man in half with her sword
