Killigrew thus uses Clorinda to evoke the dangers of rebellion, but also insists that she be valued, and that she eventually participate in the union of Rome with the Gauls.
Killigrew's Clorinda is wounded so that she can unify two nations, rewrite the history of England's real warrior queens, and in effect become a new kind of Lucrece, one who does not die bodily, but representationally, surrendering her military identity to marital subordination.
Killigrew's Clorinda provides an initiating frame to Cicilia's story, virtually disappearing once that is accomplished; in contrast, Lady Orphant's martial position is the primary focus of Cavendish's drama--far beyond securing her lover as a marital partner, she achieves personal fame and even fortune when estates and rewards are settled on her.
