Read this quotation from Act II, scene i.

"Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Being so fathered and so husbanded? Tell me your counsels, I will not disclose 'em. I have made proof of my constancy, giving myself a voluntary wound here in the thigh; can I bear that with patience, and not my husband's secrets?"
