Henrietta's/np$ feeling/nn of/in identity/nn with/in Sara/np Sullam/np was/bedz crowned/vbn by/in her/pp$ discovery/nn of/in the/at coincidence/nn that/cs Sara's/np$ epitaph/nn in/in the/at Jewish/jj cemetery/nn in/in Venice/np referred/vbd to/in her/ppo as/cs ``/`` the/at Sulamite/np ''/'' ./.


	Into/in the/at texture/nn of/in this/dt tapestry/nn of/in history/nn and/cc human/jj drama/nn Henrietta/np ,/, as/cs every/at artist/nn delights/vbz to/to do/do ,/, wove/vbd strands/nns of/in her/pp$ own/jj intuitive/jj insights/nns into/in human/jj nature/nn and/cc --/-- especially/rb in/in the/at remarkable/jj story/nn of/in the/at attraction/nn and/cc conflict/nn between/in two/cd so/ql disparate/jj and/cc fervent/jj characters/nns as/cs this/dt pair/nn --/-- into/in the/at relations/nns of/in men/nns and/cc women/nns :/: ``/`` In/in their/pp$ relations/nns ,/, she/pps was/bedz the/at giver/nn and/cc he/pps the/at receiver/nn ,/, nay/rb the/at demander/nn ./.

One/cd is/bez so/ql accustomed/vbn to/to think/vb of/in men/nns as/cs the/at privileged/jj who/wps need/vb but/in ask/vb and/cc receive/vb ,/, and/cc women/nns as/cs submissive/jj and/cc yielding/vbg ,/, that/cs our/pp$ sympathies/nns are/ber usually/rb enlisted/vbn on/in the/at side/nn of/in the/at man/nn whose/wp$ love/nn is/bez not/* returned/vbn ,/, and/cc we/ppss condemn/vb the/at woman/nn as/cs a/at coquette/nn ./.

Joseph/np Jastrow/np ,/, the/at younger/jjr son/nn of/in the/at distinguished/vbn rabbi/nn ,/, Marcus/np Jastrow/np ,/, was/bedz a/at friendly/jj ,/, round-faced/jj fellow/nn with/in a/at little/jj mustache/nn ,/, whose/wp$ field/nn was/bedz psychology/nn ,/, and/cc who/wps was/bedz also/rb a/at punster/nn and/cc a/at jolly/jj tease/nn ./.
