Hi Mckenzie,

I agree with you. Also, the lines you quoted powerfully enclose the male entitlement mentality and subsequent objectification of the woman -seen as an object, a commodity. In fact, Orgon does not have any regard to Mariane 's dignity or personality when says, "...my wish should be enough for you... he’s to be your husband, is that clear? It’s a father’s privilege…" In other words, a daughter is merely a father 's property, not as a human being who has feelings and desires. Unfortunately, the male entitlement mentality is a "plague" that knows no distinction of race, culture or social class, and easily turns into hatred and violent resentment, which can lead to the elimination (murder) of the woman who rebels against the will
