1. The roles of women were fairly different in the 1950's than Ms. Watson's view. Women was supposed to "stay in the house, do what the husband tells them to do, have dinner ready at five O' clock". Let's face it, most people probably didn't get home before five. so when the man gets home, dinner is gonna be cold. Ms. Watson on the other hand wanted women to be self-dependent in a sense. She didn't want women to be completely a lone wolf, but she wanted women to have a little respect for themselves, not just be a "good woman".


5. Betty was definitely NOT happy. she imagined that being married was so much more than sitting back and doing what the man told you. It also didn't help that Spencer had to leave for "business". (yeah he had some other business to take care of alright). And then Betty's own mother didn't let her stay in the house. "You just need time to get used to it, don't give it up now". That makes it sound more like the mother wanted the daughter to get married more than the daughter did. (what? it does). Also, it's also PAINFULLY obvious that she wasn't happy, if you look for the right signs. (eyes, energy level, tone of voice also changed a bit).
