Feminist Critical Lense: The fact that the child was a female was a contributing factor to why he killed his own daughter. Daughters were less desired than sons. Also, we think that Paulus Eysendyck was ashamed of the fact that he had a child with somebody he couldn't be with. He knew that he wouldn't be charged for his crime, because the court would believe him more than they would believe a woman. In other words, he would have a bigger chance of getting away with what he did. After Paulus killed his daughter, Thebedi went to court and tried to present her case so that the court would be in her favor. However, she wasn't able to do enough to send Paulus to jail.
