in "The Golden Ass", who is charite? Why does she die and how?

Charite is the daughter of a wealthly aristocrat, who is kidnapped by the same bandits that took Lucius. Her fiance eventually rescues her and Lucius and, he is grateful for Lucius' attempt to help her escape. In response, Charite assigns Lucius to a farm where he is supposed to live a life of luxury. Sadly, his life is actually quite miserable and matters are only made worse when Charite and her husband die—the result of a tragic plot by a man who falls in love with Charite.
