Holy Mary

Whoa, whoa , whoa, where are the woman's rights in this son? I see a continuous theme of sexism in this as the empress repeatedly suffers abuse from demoralized men . She tries her best to obey he husband as well as trying to save a faithful relationship with him by denying to commit adulatory with the emperor's brother. Yet, it is the brother who is listened to by the emperor. In this song many men were attracted to her and couldn't handle rejection, so unlike the poems we read prior to this song where the men just grieve over the love they can't have, they use violence against the woman. From rape to false murder, the woman suffers for no reason other than she looks beautiful, which she really has no control over. Today in the media whether it is politics to the red carpet, the woman always has an image that is either used to her advantage or is used against her.  I think what is trying to be said in this poem other than the Holy Mary will never fail to serve and protect you, is that a woman who is pure and honest like the Virgin Mary shall receive what she deserves if she has faith and trust in Holy Mary, the mother of God.  ( at least in the final outcome of the situation.)

In this song , the Monk who committed sins was seen as an unfortunate man, rather than a bad human being for what he did. But why? Is it because  if you work for God ( as in a monk or nun) , you will be saved , no matter what the ungodly situation is? Or was this to explain the fact that even godly men make mistakes, and the Holy Mary, mother of God will save those who are weak. This song implies that even as a man coveted by sin, is given a chance to be saved as well, because if Mary only saved those who did good, the people who suffer from sin will never learn their lesson. I think the monk drowning in the river was meant to happen so he can be acquainted with the devil and be saved so he can become fearful to not make wrong decisions anymore.

The songs represent deep respect for Mary to prove she is a powerful figure that can save you.
