In the farmers bride I don’t think that the girl is presented as too immature for a relationship I think she is presented as not ready because she don’t really want to be the man. She is 12 or 13 so maybe she is too scared of the idea of sex with the older man. That may be the reason for her running away. Running away was a good idea but no a very smart one because she knew if she got caught it would have just made matters worse for her. But because she was so scared she decided to run away and risk the fact of her getting caught and making things worse for her. She eventually got caught and the men she was caught by the men that worked for the man who forced her to get married to this man. For her punishment his men had her locked up and didn’t let her out to stop her from running away again. He also talks about how they use to make riddles years ago which shows the readers that they were a better couple many years ago this also shows that they have been together for a long time which to me sounds like they really loved each other but in the first paragraph it sounds like its a new fresh relationship and maybe they don’t really know that much about each other. But in the second paragraph he talks about the good times they had so his shows it might miss the way how they use to be.The speaker reflects back to a particular moment in their life when they realised that the love had died between them and the person they were in a relationship with. They consider what this moment has meant to them since.
