It appears that the masses were unable to acknowledge the full extent of their freedoms and preferred to stick to traditionalism instead. By doing this, they obliged themselves and those around them to act in agreement with absurd laws that were presumably meant to have them seem like model citizens. Veronica went further than most of these people and decided that it was best for her to do what she wanted. In contrast to her, Marco did not have the courage to disobey his family and married someone that he did not love. Thus, men were to a certain degree equal to women, given that they too had to conform to society's requirements. Marco is, in point of fact, mainly responsible for Veronica's situation, as he seduces her and then presents her with the cruel truth.
