Quote #10

We had taken Anne and trained her to do the things that Henry liked, the things all men like, things expressly forbidden by the church. We had given [Anne] the skills of a whore and now she was being reproached for it. (47.342)

Henry is the type of man who wants a woman to be erotic and alluring and virginal and pure at the same time. That's an impossible order for anyone; for Henry, as soon as a woman is sexual with him, she stops being virginal and pure, so he goes out and tries to find someone else. It's a cycle that never ends.
