The short story of Margery Kempe

When Margery tries to set up a few business of her own but they all fail. Margery realizes that God is punishing her for her excessive pride and those around her notice it to so they stop wanting to work for her. Margery admits her flaws and then she starts to change again.

This time, she hears music coming from the heavens while she is lying in bed with her husband and from that point on, every time she hears music she thinks about heaven. Margery starts to talk excessively about Heaven, angering her neighbors and those around her. She also refuses to be intimate with her husband claiming that it disgusts her. After a few years, John takes a vow of chastity as well. Margery becomes even more religious, punishing herself, fasting, going to church at unusual hours and dressing herself in an undershirt made of hair to symbolize her atonement for her sins.
