“An interesting example is that the worst woman in the book, who is so cruel and violent, is the sorceress in "The Prince of the Black Islands." She's a beautiful young woman, and she has turned her husband into stone from the waist down.

She's just unwontedly, arbitrarily cruel.” MenBookStatesStoriesRunningBeautifulYoungBlackInterestingWifeBloodWorstExampleHe ManHusbandBeatsStonesViolentIslandsAfternoonYoung WomenSad StorySorceress Author:Marina Warner
