If Cattarina were obedient and respectful to him, then would he repay her a natural kindness? Not privileged. Just do to the extent where Belhart's mood will make way for him.
Then, if Cattarina was disobedient and disrespectful and lied to him. Could it be that Belhart would immediately revoke the goodness and turn it into good in a bad sense to make Cattarina realize that she couldn't do anything without him?
