2745. There are women who do not love their husbands but despise them, and at length value them as good-for-nothings. The character of these women was represented to me by a cock, a wild cat, and a dark-coloured tiger. I was told that such women start off by talking a lot, go on to scolding, and at length assume the nature of the tiger. It was stated by some that such women nevertheless love their children, but the reply was made that this love is not human, and that it flows equally into the evil, and even into all types of living creatures, so much so that these also love their offspring more than themselves. It was added that nothing of conjugial love resides with such as these.
