The short answer to this is that Woolf states Judith Shakespeare would kill herself at the end. The more complex answer is that Judith Shakespeare shows much of the same intelligence and creativity as her brother William does, however, it is not cultivated because of the time period. Judith, being a woman, would be unable to display her creativity and it would instead be quelled by work in the home. Because of this, she would eventually descend into a depression because she is trapped in a life she doesn't want. She wants the life that her brother has, a life she can never attain. Thus, she decides to end her life to escape from this.
