True to Victorian times, family dysfuntions were hidden to outsiders. In the Bordon home, 92 Second St., these people lived by this unspoken rule. Disputes over money and real estate, resentments between step-mother and step daughters, Andrew's miserly penny-pinching ways, and lack of control over her own life due to the fact that unmarried women in the 19th century were the property of the father or closest male relative.
Andrew was a self-made man, amassing a fortune by shrewd business practices and a Scrooge-type attitude about money. Lizzie wanted a bigger house, complete with indoor Plumbing and upscale neighborhood, befitting a family of the Borden's social status. Add to this, an already tense relationship of stepmother/daughters and Andrew's decision to transfere Borden real estate to Abbey's family, who was not a blood relation, were the catylists to the explosion of violence from Lizzie. Her post-crime behaviour was highly suspect, both short-term and long-term. With her parents dead, Lizzie lived the life she had dreamed of. She bought the big house and gave lavish parties, mostly to out-of-towners. The people of Fall River were not as willing to forgive and/or forget. She was shunned for the rest of her life. At the time of her death in 1927 she had spent almost her entire inheritance, approximately $250,000, an enormous amount of money for the time.

Women can and do kill, sometimes violently and guesomely, Lizzie was just such a woman.

What strategy did the prosecution use during the Lizzie Borden trial?
With the circumstantial evidence stacked against her, the defense used the very effective approach of 'good girl from upstanding family' which worked like a charm on the all-male jury. Victorian-era men could not imagine that a young woman of Lizzie Borden's social station and proper upbringing could have possibly hacked up her parents with an axe. For us that live in the 21st century, we not only believe it, we have witnessed this type of murder more than enough and can attest to the fact that well-brought up daughters can and do kill their parents. And for less reasons than those that motivated Miss Borden, monetary gain and domineering parents.
