Oothoon knows she was not to be blamed for Bromion's rape. Throughout the poem Oothoon struggles to prove to Theotorman that he is purely innocent. But both Theotorman and Bromion do not recognize his innocence. Unlike Bromion, Oothoon will encounter hardships throughout his life due to his actions, physically and emotionally. Any person who is a victim of rape will be traumatized. A woman who is a victim of rape or involved in an extramarital affair destroys her image in society. In Visions, Oothoon is called a prostitute after being raped by Bromion. Blake uses a "whore" to indicate how Oothoon has lost his identity. “Here is this prostitute here on Bromion's bed” (18). This quote means that she changes from being a person to a possession. This highlights what I think is the most important point of the poem, which is the idea that women are property; shows that Oothoon's existence has become meaningless. Male characters view women as objects after having sex
