ramatoulaye and aisatou are the same in that they were brought up by the same tradition and same traditional beliefs but what makes different from the other women in society is that they are educated. They had the oppotunity to go for tetiary education, hence, they are ablr to see man oppresswion against woman and how their tradition "Islam" oppresses and diprives them of rights. Moreover, they risist to their husbands initiatives to marry second wives, however, diferently. Ramatoulaye compares to assatou in that they both valued their marriages and they had married for love but the norms and traditions of lslam forced them otherwise.

Ramatoulaye and Aissatou are both strong women who face challenges within their marriages, but they respond differently to betrayal. Ramatoulaye remains loyal to her husband even after his infidelity, while Aissatou chooses to leave her marriage to preserve her dignity and independence. Both women represent different responses to patriarchal oppression and societal expectations.
