After downing his second drink, her husband coldly informs her that he is leaving her and the child. This brutal news prompts the first change in Mary, from loving wife to emotionless and detached from everything.

In the stories of “Mary Queen of Scots” and “Elizabeth I”, it is known that Mary and Elizabeth I are two different people, but also the similar in some ways. Both Elizabeth and Mary lived within the same time period and were even related, although their lives ended up completely different. Elizabeth was a well-respected queen with an interesting personal life. Mary on the other hand was convicted of aiding a homicide and had many problems in her personal life.

I hope you won 't blame me too much...So there it is,’ he added. ‘And I know it 's kind of a bad time to be telling you, bet there simply wasn 't any other way. Of course I 'll give you money and see you 're looked after. But there needn 't really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn 't be very good for my job.’ " Although he didn’t say the exact words the reader can infer this when he states “… i’ll give you money and see you 're looked after. But there needn 't really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn 't be very good for my job…” Some readers might disagree with her for killing her husband because he was leaving her, but she was truly in love with him

In the Renaissance period, it was widely believed that man was the measure of all things. The using of the word man in this context did not encompass all genders as it is used today; when we say “man” or “mankind” now we are often referring to the greater population of “human”, but when used in the Renaissance it referred strictly to man: biological, typical man, no other gender included. In the chapter Mary’s Motherhood according to Leonardo and Michelangelo, when talking about Michelangelo’s work Goffen implies that the way Michelangelo has masculinized Mary holds symbolic power and adds to the meaning of the painting. However, when in an era where it is believed “man is the measure of all things” it is plausible that Michelangelo’s paintings and sketches masculinize Mary not to provide symbolism, but rather reflect the man-centered mindset of the time. Through the masculinization of important females, they no longer read as female and therefore the importance is shifted from the female and back onto the male who reins as the dominant sex.

My favorite people from the bible are Ester, Mary, and Jesus. Here are reasons why. For Ester, one reason is that she becomes royalty. The next trait that I like is that she is generous. Third is that she is very loyal. Also, she is extremely brave. She is also very kind. She is very beautiful as you know because the king picked her to be his wife. Lastly, i like her because she is a Christian.

Mary, in contrast to Martha, was a willing learner. She took some time out from helping with the meal preparation and sat at Jesus’ feet to hear Him as he taught and explained the Scriptures to His disciples. Her attentiveness reflected the attitude Jesus had spoken about in Jerusalem at the Feast of Tabernacle just a few days before this event. The Apostle John tells us that Jesus used the occasion to proclaim that His word is truth and that those who put His teachings into practice would have mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom (John 8:31-32). When Jesus came to visit Mary, Martha, and their brother, Mary chose to listen carefully to Jesus’ words. Mary was a disciple who longed to know the truth, and to walk in the freedom that Jesus promised.

Everyone is beginning to grow concerned with Mary’s disappearance. They start noticing little signs that seem off. Such as Mary not leaving a note.
