Had she been a deceitful wife? she asked herself. A complacent wife? A dishonorable woman? Discreditable? vulgar? What harmful thing had she willfully done to this man to warrant his malice, his continual assaults, the relish with which he tormented her? Had she not looked after him when he was ill? Fed him, and his friends, cleaned up after him dutifully?
Had she not given this man her youth?
Had she ever justly deserved his meanness? p. 309
Finally we start to see Mariam open her eyes to how her husband treated her all these years. She now knows he has done nothing but made her life even more miserable. This I believe helps her fight him back to defend Laila and herself. This is what helps her murder the man that is about to kill the only person in her life, who understood her and loved for who she was.
