One moment that really stuck with me was when Lije’s wife, Jesse, came clean about her meetings with the Environmentalists. Â She was so bitter about Baley stripping her name of any power she thought that it held, so she went behind his back. Â Jezebel is a name associated with “painted lady’s” in the Bible, or prostitutes. Â Her final act of getting made up before leaving the station showed her indignation as a woman of status (higher up than most) in the face of her self-exposition. Â She may have went behind Baley’s back because he made her feel trapped and stripped of power; but in the end she kept her role as a faithful wife.
