Though her act of infanticide is considered to be a crime but she is also regarded as victimized by many critics. She is often compared to Dinah Morris, her cousin who is a complete contrast to her character. She uses her beauty to gain anything she desires. At times she is regarded as innocent and childlike and at times as a vain person. She abhors working on the farm and dreams to live a life of wealth. She desires to have a husband who would shower her with all the wealth.
