The groom's efforts to win the heart of the bride borders on pathetic. For example, when the bride asks or money for a phone card so she can make her calls privately he gives her ten times more than enough money to do this. She claims the amount is not sufficient and refuses to take it. When he refuses to give her more she takes his office and car keys and ultimately he has to call the police to get them back. To add insult to injury she tells him of her many boyfriends back home, that she was not a virgin when they met, and the only reason she came here was to show herself to him and now that he has seen her she wants him to buy her a ticket home. And he does. She tells him that because she won't be receiving any more money from him she will have to become a prostitute in order to survive when she gets home. Even after all she's done to him he worries that she...
The reader can see from the beginning that the relationship is doomed because both parties have very different agendas. The groom's motives are not entirely pure since he is trying to buy love, and expects to arrange this outcome as one would a business deal. He is truly baffled that the deal falls through. The bride takes advantage of his naivete, milking him for money while simultaneously humiliating him. She had no intensions of honoring their agreement from the outset and plays him for a sucker. Both characters are flawed and neither is particularly endearing. The entire scene is edgy and painful to witness.

Did Bertha not subscribe to the "cult of true womanhood" in which a real woman was believed to be without any sexual feelings, to be responsible for the man's sexual behavior, to be religious, obedient to her husband, and to provide a serene haven for him? After all, the man had to do business in a dangerous and corrupt world and needed rest and regeneration in a serene and
You are my creator, but I am your master; obey." Like God, Frankenstein initially believed that his creation will enhance society, will be a boon to natural science and that the rewards for creating such a creature will be the adulation and bended knee of a grateful mankind, but too late he discovers that his creation is just as capable of untold evils as it is capable of gratitude and love.

Since the 1970s, the global retail clothing industry has experienced intense international competition and major shifts in the pattern of consumer demand. These pressures have had far-reaching implications for the clothing industry in the areas of pricing, design, quality, manufacturing processes and employment (Rath, 2002). According to this author, "In the 1970s, traditional manufacturers, particularly High Street retailers with their own manufacturing capacity, found themselves unable to compete with low
