Hey this is Eden Incredible I can write things in this website.

Royalty
Professor Janet Todd asserts that many parts of The Fair Jilt reflect Behn's royalist politics. Tarquin, a prince with dubious royal credentials, is manipulated by Miranda, possibly representing Behn's interpretation of the marriage of Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria of France. At the end of the story Tarquin survives his execution, similar to James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth.

Morality
Miranda avoids justice for various crimes within The Fair Jilt: Her original sexual desire soon leads to a desire for power, yet lead her to a "perfect state of happiness". Todd names this a "moral disintegration" connected to the politics described above. The Fair Jilt was written in 1668 and Todd claims this inversion of justice represents Behn's opinions on the Glorious Revolution.
