只有凯瑟琳有能力改变和成熟，尽管在这里...我们的女主人公为这一变化付出了宝贵的价格。她确实对父亲和求婚者都进行了报仇：她拒绝屈服。最后，她取得了胜利。
(Only Catherine has the capacity to change and mature, although here...our heroine pays a dear price for this change. And she does take a form of revenge on both her father and her suitor: she refuses to give in to them. In the end, she has her triumph.)
