La voz poética es mujer enojada. En las tres primeras estrofas, mujer está culpando hombres por poner malos pensamientos en las mentes de las mujeres. Hombres hablan mujeres abajo, pero quieren mujeres to act like nothing is wrong and that men weren’t just treating them unfair. Lucretia is a women who was raped and then killed herself because she was commited to only her husband in the Roman time period, which helped play a major role in making the roman empire into a Republic. Thais was a prostitute before she became a saint. In the poema, when a man is courting a woman, he wants her to be like the actions of a prositute to him, but when the woman falls for the man, she has to be lady like. I think the meaning of “a una culpáis por cruel / y a otra por fácil culpáis” is the double standard that men have towards women. Men say one thing about a women but yet another women can do the same thing and that is alright. I think this poem is relevant to today. There was just women’s march on Washington couple weeks ago. The march was about how women are not being treated equally to men, which is what this poema is all about.
