Once there was a gentleman who married, for his
second wife, the proudest and most haughty
a woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former
husband, two daughters of her own, who were,
indeed, exactly like her in all things. He had
likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but
of unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world.

No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over but the stepmother began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities of this pretty girl, and the less because they made her daughters appear the more odious. She employed her in the meanest work of the house. She scoured the dishes, tables, etc., and cleaned madam’s chamber and those of misses, her daughters. She slept in a sorry
garret, on a wretched straw bed, while her
sisters slept in fine rooms, with floors all inlaid,
on beds of the very newest fashion, and where
they had looking-glasses so large that they could
see themselves at their full length from head to
foot.

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
