Byron is criticizing the restricted choices that women have in life. A woman with few choices must tolerate a man's "injustices" because a woman’s bond is solely in her marriage; although, most women became accustomed to their husbands betraying within the marriage’s duration. Women learned to conceal their desires while waiting for a man to purchase their hand in marriage. The woman may become unfaithful by thinking that another man will be better suited for her; however, the lover will continue to seek another woman and betray her as well. At the end stage of life, until he or she dies, the woman will be taking care of and nursing her unfaithful and apathetic husband.
