double crossing and justice in " 'Tis Pity"

Vasque's two central acts of deception involve winning a female character's confidence, then betraying her. Hippolita believes Vasque wishes to help her seek revenge on Sorenzo; trusting him leads to her own death by poison. Putana believes Vasque wishes to know who fathered Annabella's child, so that he may protect Annabella from Sorenzo; after she has disclosed the identity of the father, Putana's eyes are poked out. In both instances, Vasque believes that Hippolita's intent to poison Sorenzo and Putana's allegiance to Annabella, as well as his loyalty to Sorenzo, justify double crossing each woman. The ultimate double standard is enacted at play's end, when the Cardinal condemns Putana to death by burning and merely banishes Vasque from the city. Would the audience's notion of gender relations led them to consider the respective fates of Vasque, Hippolita and Putana justified? or would they have seen Vasque's banishment sentence as ironic?
