In the early centuries, women always stand in the lower statues and receive less respection from the society than the men do, and that phenomenon is the men is the one make money and support their family, so the man definite has more power than women in either the household or society. And that is what the story "Bluebeard" tried to explain: people has money get more power than the people who don't, and rich people can do all things they want, and the example for that from the story is: Bluebeard is the one has all money, so he can marry to any women who were much younger than him, and he is the one who alway gave out the order for his women to follow, and if his women disobeyed him than those women will receive punishment from him.
'Bluebeard wanted to killed his wife because she went to open the secret chamber that Bluebeard asked she not to' - is an example that Bluebeard wanted to punish his wife becuase she didn't followed his order. And in my personal opinion, I think she should receive that punishment, because she just got married to Bluebeard and in this is very begining she already started to challenge Bluebeard's power, so no one can guarantee what she will do in the future if she Bluebeard just let her go this time, and Bluebeard will lost his power in the house if he is forgived her at this time.
But with the changed in social institution and culture, women's statues in today's soceity is equal to men's; because today's women received same level education and do the same jobs as men do, and men don't have any more superior status than women in today's society. So, today we don't say women shoud obey ther husbands anymore, but we said the husband and wife should respect on each other instead.
