Content

• You’re silly to deny your femininity (man’s clothes; smoking; lots of affairs): you will be until you’re dead
• Her rebellion is actually “a woman’s voice forlorn”
• “Till God unsex thee:” until you’re dead and in heaven, which is a sexless place b/c the spirits have no bodies, you must deal with the fact that you’re a woman

Style

• Image of her hair floating free “all unshorn” like a female Samson or a Medusa; shows her strength yet proves she’s not a man
• Narrator positions herself as having crazy deep knowledge of Sand: Browning penetrates her due to their being both female
