The Punishment Is the Crime: Montraville realizes too late that he abandoned Charlotte while pregnant and she died while he was off marrying another woman. He sees the house where she stayed is empty and hears from the townspeople that she was wandering the streets mad. Montraville arrives just in time to see her funeral and begs Mr. Temple to kill him. Mr. Temple refuses to give him that satisfaction, so instead Montraville murders the friend that lied about Charlotte being wicked, and spends the rest of his life in sorrow. While his wife tends on him.

Karmic Death: After turning Charlotte away as a rich wife, la Rue in turn is abandoned by her husband because the servants see her for a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, and she spends several years destitute. Eventually she ends up ironically on the Temples' doorstep begging... and they pay for her debts and medical expenses, so she can die in peace.

Scare 'Em Straight: If you run away with a man who looks good in a uniform, you'll be abandoned and left to starve on the streets while pregnant, and if you're really lucky, you'll get to die in your father's arms.
