His wife represents the British government. In the story, Ripvan Wencker 20 years ago, what he feared most was his wife's nagging. Mrs. Rip is always bossing him around and ordering him to go home quickly. What Rip doesn't want to see is "female dictatorship". Only the king of England is a woman, just like the United States before independence.
