An element, in chapter two, about which the writer focalizes his attention, is the rule and the costume of the women in the colony. Especially it is underlined the differences between the old ladies of English origin and their descendents, born in the New World. The firsts don’t have much refinement, they go to the Place like the men and judge brutally the poor sinner; the others are more sensible and fair. This can be noticed in the dialogues, too. The younger women are more comprehensive about the sinner’s fault and understand her feelings better than the old ones.
