In a similar manner to the previous Punch cartoon, "The New Woman," this cartoon reverses the societal control that men and women had in the Victorian era, limiting the man's autonomy as opposed to the woman's. The woman treats the man like a pet, something she owns, and orders him to stay under the doorframe the entire night to ensure she knows exactly where he is. This manner of exerting control mirrors male control over women in the domestic sphere—if a woman is limited to household duties, her husband will always know her whereabouts.
