When Terry's punishment of trying to rape his wife was to go back to his own land, it was not really a punishment to him because he still cherished where he came from and did not take much pride in living in a woman domineering land. He takes pride in everything of his own, original country. He has nationalism which may represent why the girls and women of Herland liked him the least. Vandyck and Jeff were less stubborn in changing their ways and got more adjusted to the land because they were more like the women and did not have deep, firm belief in the ways of their own country.
Jeff and Vandyck also did not want their wives, Cellis and Ellador, to be exposed to their country when Terry was going back. Ellador wanted to explore the outside world with Van because she was curious. Curiosity can sometimes lead to a big discovery. If the book were to continue on into when they got there, I'm sure the readers would find it interesting of what types of ideas and inferences she would gather in a short period of time.
