    During the sixteenth century, the role of men and women within society were distinctly determined and demonstrated in France. When it came to marriage, men had to remain faithful to his wife, while women also had to remain faithful to her husband. It was the man’s job to take care of his family and wife by being the provider. It was the woman’s job to keep honor to the family by being loyal wives and attentive mothers. Both the husband and wife were responsible to uphold these roles because divorce was not an option through the eyes of the church. In the sixteenth century, marriages were usually arranged at a very young age for both men and women in order to gain prosperity and property. In the novel The Return of Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis uses characters such as Bertrande and Martin/Arnaud to represent gender and marriage roles that were common during the sixteenth century in rural…

While attending Douglas’ lecture, Harris learned about three infamous serial killers: Ted Bundy, Gary…
