进一步阐述
人们通常认为，通奸是可耻的社会犯罪。对被戴绿帽的人来说，最难相信的是配偶背叛了他们的信任。他们不仅要忍受遭遇背叛的痛苦，还必须面对人们背后的指点、嘲笑甚至同情。
为了寻求正义的制裁，遭受背叛的人可能会做出激烈的反应，他们的愤怒可能引起对通奸者的复仇行动（可能是一个或者两个通奸者，这取决于人们对通奸者如何定罪）。

Discussion
Adultery, whilst often considered a shameful social crime, is hardest of all for the cuckolded person whose trust in the adulterer is betrayed. They must not only suffer the agonies of betrayal, but must also face others who may point and laugh behind their backs or offer pitying sympathies.
The response of a person thus betrayed can be harsh, as they seek retributive justice, and their anger can lead to vengeance against the offending adulterers (one, other or both, depending on how the betrayed person attributes blame).
