The second attempt to exchange money for love comes in Act 5 Scene 2 and highlights a status distinction. Hammon attempts to pay Ralph 20 pounds in order to claim Jane for himself. Hammon, like Otley, operates under the assumption that money can buy anything, even love, and approaches Jane not as a person but as a commodity. This can be contrasted with Ralph's position: "Dost thou think a shoemaker is so base to be a bawd to his own wife for commodity?"
