Hi Raisa,

I thought your point about male “innocence” was interesting; I’ve been finding that the idea of innocence seems to be very multi-layered, such as how Hero is innocent/pure, yet capable of killing men with her denials and having enough sexual knowledge to be a “tease.” Apart from being contradictory, innocence also seems to have several different meanings; I wonder how this idea about a man’s “innocency” in the Book of Common Prayer could be more associated with moral innocence/religious purity vs. sexual innocence, since it seems as if there is an expectation for men to be the more sexually experienced ones in the marriage.
