Description
A theme throughout the book is that women in this context (1300s China) have no autonomy over their own lives. The protagonist's father tries to sell her to bandits so they will spare him and her brother. The narrator comments that this is a common behavior for peasants. There is a scene later on where a group of women are expected to sexually entertain a group of military men.
