Donya Consolacion is wedded to an ensign( an officer) and she pretends that she is not an indio and she acts like a crass and she abuses the power of her husband because she is a wife to an ensign.
The ensign wouldn't let her attend to church that morning because she dressed "ridiculously" and he didn't want to be seen with her. She becomes increasingly enraged during the day as she remains cooped up in the house, ordering the staff to cover the windows so she doesn't hear the festivities.
Sisa was taken to the military barracks after being arrested by the Civil Guard for touching the town's leper. "As soon as possible, get her up here!" "The ensign's wife issues commands to her slaves," the ensign's wife says. Sisa is ordered to sing by Donya Consolación in broken Tagalog.
Sisa is ordered to dance by Donya Consolación, who calls her a "indio whore" and whips her feet. She drew more and more blood from Sisa, reveling in the bizarre show until the ensign enters and places his hand on the dancing woman's shoulder, causing her to come to a halt.
He orders his attendants to transport Sisa and tend to her wounds. for before this incident he had actually been treating her kindly, making sure she was well-fed and warm
When Sisa leaves, the couple starts fighting, shaking the entire house with their blows.
