Prior to Dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. She took no special notice of any of them. However, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. She is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.
In "The Wife's Lament" a plot by her husband's kinsmen initiated the wife's exile.
Explanation:
"The Wife's Lament" or "The Wife's Complaint" is an Old English poem found in the Exeter Book (the 10th-century anthology of Anglo-Saxon poetry). It consists of 53 lines, and is and generally treated as an elegy or woman's song, which shows a woman's grief about a lost of absent lover, although there are numerous different interpretations and disagreements regarding the genre and theme.
If we take a look at the poem, we can see that the cause of the wife's exile are her husband's kinsmen:
<em>They insinuated, the kinsmen of that man,</em>
<em>by secret thought, to separate us two</em>
<em>so that we two, widest apart in the worldly realm,</em>
<em>should live most hatefully—and it harrowed me. </em>
<em />
<em>My lord ordered me to take this grove</em>
<em>for a home — very few dear to me</em>
<em>in this land, almost no loyal friends.</em>
