In the 1984 movie, The Burning Bed, Farah Fawcett plays  Francine Hughes, a Michigan housewife who was prosecuted for murder  after she set her husband on fire while he slept on their bed. The  defense argued that Mrs. Hughes was a victim of 13 years of abuse, which  had made her unable to think rationally and leave the relationship, a  defense now popularly known as the battered womans syndrome (BWS).
Based on the above scenario, answer the following questions:

In this context, explain the concept of the BWS, the  arguments commonly made by the opposition, and the rationale for your  arguments. Refer  the Internet and give an example of a similar case  study that you have come across. Analyze whether the victim in this case  got justice. Was the offender convicted? Why? What was the uniqueness  of this case?
What are the factors that compel a victim to stay in an  abusive relationship? Is domestic abuse and violence common against men?  Why?
