The money and goods involved in a marriage are called <u>dowry</u>. The basic purpose of a dowry has been to bring some protection for the wife against violence and abuse by her husband and his family. Also, the dowry may serve to help the new couple to establish a home. This was more common in societies where the marriage of very young people has been arranged. Also, a dowry provides the wife with the resources in case of her man's death.

In the Middle Ages, the dowry had the function to enhance the value of a woman for marriage and increase power and wealth of great families. Dowries virtually disappeared in Europe in the XIX and XX century.

How would you describe the tone of this excerpt? Cite evidence from the text to support your claims.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: the passage reads in a annoyed rebellious tone as the writer is sick of Brittan's heinous dead's that supporters seem to move past and gloss over

Explanation:

our first paragraph brings out how Brittan supporters  urges the public to look past the deeds saying "Come, come, we shall be friends again for all this." the writer then ends the paragraph by saying "If you cannot do all these, then you are only deceiving yourselves". this sentence represents lost trust within the author who believes he can not put trust into Brittan which in the next paragraph he says has cause the nation great pain . finally he asks the reader if we can really forgive and trust the same people that caused the nation so much pain to which most would respond no.
