With a great career in teaching and in a loving, devoted marriage Liberty has a charismatic and bubbly personality. Her friends would always see her with a smile on her face, and she was dedicated to helping the environment. After a few months, the people surrounding her saw a degrading difference; she quits her steady job as a teacher, loses her smile, her cheerful persona disappears and she is never seen out of the house. Her friends begin to worry, but soon after being told that everything is fine, ignore and forget about Liberty. She becomes a house wife, and after taking beatings night upon night from her drunk and abusive husband Richard, she loses her confidence and pride, and therefore becomes depressed – but her fierce and determined qualities drive her to turn her life around.

Richard Matthews is respected in society with his role in the police force. His masculine physicality means he is more respected and this manliness is what makes him so attractive to Liberty.

The problem with this choice of activity is that Richard turns violent with alcohol consumption, and this causes him to abuse his wife. His dominating nature also drives him to have an affair with liberty’s sister. Liberty cannot cope with Richard anymore.
