    HELPPP! I have no idea what this means...
    What does this phrase mean?
    I'm reading an Anne of Cleves for my 11th grade research paper and don't know what this means...

    "Some theorists believe that there is a chemical element in sexual attraction; it may have been at work here, in both Henry and Anne; instant repudiation upon his side, placid acceptance of the situation on hers. Otherwise, for Anne was young when she came to England, she might have borne strong sons."
    --Anne of Cleves
    Please help:)

    Missy,
    Break this statement down to usable fragments:

    Theorists = Thinkers

    .. "A chemical element in sexual attraction" - A metaphor for chemical properties, the rules for attraction and rejection

    ... "instant repudiation for him" Instant dislike.

    ... "placid accepetance for her." Neither like or dislike.
