“And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.”
Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers: let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask. The direct appeal from Shechem to the family — let me find favor — is the appeal of someone who wants to negotiate past the violation rather than acknowledge it. The application: the person who has done serious wrong and responds by offering to pay any price has still not acknowledged what the wrong was.
