I'd like to add that, I do think she is shamefaced because she is letting a complete stranger touch her where she very much doesn't want to be touched, and yet she lets it continue. When she began feeling uncomfortable she should have spoken up and either put a stop to it, or talk to the masseuse and understand the situation better. She is shameful for not stepping up for herself.
I don't like this heroine cause she is so submissive and she believes that she is owned by her husband, I quote "Even though a woman has [an[ owner who is her husband..." and next she says the "womb is a shameful and soft part of a woman's body". How can it be shameful to be able to give life to something? To be able to carry it and nurture it? How can it be shameful to create a new being, between you and your loved one?
I think this heroine needs to grow a pair.
