Question

when salome, in elizabeth carys the tragedy of mariam, says \i mean not to be led by precedent, / my will shall be to me instead of law,\ what does she mean?
a. she is not going to take matters into her own hands, but wait on her husband.
b. she is going to leave a last will and testament that leaves her property to her children, instead of to her husband.
c. she is going to divorce her husband, no matter what the law says, or anyone else thinks.
d. none of the above.

Explanation:

Salome's statement emphasizes her independence and determination to follow her own will rather than external rules (like law or precedent). Option a is incorrect as it implies passivity (waiting on husband) which contradicts her assertion of will. Option b misinterprets "will" as a legal document (last Will) rather than her personal volition. Option c's focus on divorce is not indicated by the text.

Answer:

d. None of the above.
