"...burning like a flame inside of you, is this just desire or the truth..."

In Thursday's lesson we continued reading The Bloody Chamber. We have now been introduced to the husband's previous three wives who, shockingly enough, all died tragically suddenly.
Our narrator says; "he had invited me to join this gallery of beautiful women" suggesting that she looks up to her husband as though she belongs to him like an object. Her passive nature is becoming more and more apparent the more we read and the way she talks about her husband suggests that she will is happy to let him be the dominant character.
This can also be seen in the way she describes how he looks at her like a 'connoisseur inspecting horseflesh'. This links to his animalistic and beast like nature as well as having connotations of death. Controversially, she seems thrilled somewhat by the way in which she can easily see the potential for her innocent self to be corrupted by this man. Does she desire this corruption?

We are also starting to see foreshadowing in what she says as she describes the "choker of rubies" that her husband gave to her as a wedding gift. She describes it as a 'precious slit throat' and explains its origins as an 'ironic fad' of those who escaped the guillotine to tie a 'red ribbon around their necks at just the point where the blade would have sliced it through' . Could this be foreshadowing what awaits her?
