I can't agree with you, because I find it easier to imagine myself in Shelley's position than hers.
I'm sorry, but I find that a disturbing way of looking at things. Are you saying that this means her pov doesn't matter, because you can't identify with it?
Harriet had said she wanted polyandrous relationships, and then refused to accept it.
Well, it's one thing for people to agree in theory, but different when it actually comes to it in practice. (This was what happened with Jon and Penelope.) I think under such circumstances it's more honourable and decent (outmoded concepts, I admit, but then I'm an outmoded sort of human being who probably shouldn't exist any more) to put one's own selfish desires on the back-burner out of consideration for the other person.
