    1. for it was not right that a martyr should die with her hair in disorder

      She was worried about her appearance even when death was on the line, shows a lot about her character.

    2. she was very distressed that hermartyrdom would be postponed because of her pregnancy; for it is against the law for women with child tobe executed. Thus she might have to shed her holy, innocent blood afterwards along with others who werecommon criminals.

      Interesting that she had to carry her baby to term before being executed

    3. Give up your pride! You will destroy all of us!

      Reminds me of Plato Crito and how Crito was pleading with Socrates not to give up on himself, and instead think about how his family would be affected if he died.
