Oh, and one of Prof. Yosef's questions is pretty easy to answer: he asks what would have driven the smart woman to suicide. Had I found out that my husband was cruelly conducting outrageous experiments in sexual loyalty on me and his students, at my expense, to prove some abstract principle which violates common sense and his experience in life with me, it would drive me to unmeasurable fury. Had I been an orthodox woman, it would be practically impossible for me to find an appropriate vehicle to channel this fury. Left with no source of power, no hope for justice and a sham of a marriage to a cruel, unloving husband, I am not surprised at Brurya's desperate action. I am surprised, though, at Prof. Yosef's lack of understanding of this cruel, terrible story, and its morals, enhanced by Dr. Calderon's interpretation, but vivid and enraging in the original text as well.
