Sansa’s growth a as a player in the game and Theon’s redemption do not need to be mutually exclusive. That scene advanced both of their stories.
Here’s a much better examination of the scene and show in general.
Ahh, so you have some idea but lack a full awareness. Understood.
Your argument is that because murder being glossed over while rape is not is a trope of fiction that it justifies your acknowledged glossing over of murder? Got it. In reality, since that’s what you want to focus on and not the fictional universe of the show, murder is worse.
Then it’s no wonder that Sansa’s character chose death instead.
Ok, then it’s still murder. Cool dragons, still murder. Cool revenge on dad, still murder. Cool revenge on your whore, still murder. Cool story to make her feel better, still murder.
It’s spelled murder. In the 21st century, it’s murder.
And again, how are we supposed to see Dany’s actions? Are we supposed to let it pass and hope she redeems herself for tortuing and killing innocents? Are we supposed to say it’s justified because of the world she lives in and the situation allows her to murder at will for political gain? How many people has Dany…
In Westeros, accepting marriage is accepting sex. It’s a shitty choice and it a shitty world of women to live in, but that’s what it means. I know that as an audience we’re supposed to see it as Sansa being brutalized by Ramsay, just as Theon also sees it. But in terms of Sansa playing the Game of Thrones, she’s doing…
Keeping Theon there was sadistic on two fronts. No denying that. Ramsay is a bastard.
Then I’ll use sex and rape interchangeable. That’s a semantics argument and you know it.
Ramsay had sex with his wife because it’s his duty to consummate the marriage and eventually have children to further the family line. It may not be good justification, but he had reasons.
No, she murdered him to make an example out of him and scare the others. She had no proof that he was involved in the Sons of the Harpy.
I’m amazed how little credit you give Sansa. Her choice to marry Ramsay and then enter that room knowing what was going to happen is part of her development as a character. Sansa doesn’t know totally that Ramsay is a psychopath, and perhaps she hopes he’ll be gentle but she knows he’s twisted, has been with others and…
Huh? Murder is never justified. Killing may be justified at times, but murder is not. That’s why it’s murder. Dany murdered that Master. She didn’t kill him, she murdered him. In today’s world, there is no justification for that.
You can make the argument that it’s a deviation from the books, but if Sansa is just going to sit around in the Vale then she isn’t in the game and what’s the point of her story? Do they just use a throwaway character and let her be brutalized to enable Theon?
Saying it’s rape from the point of view of society today is saying that Dany tortured and murdered the Master in Mereen without giving him a fair trial.
Sansa agreed as well. She absolutely agreed. Not liking something doesn’t mean you don’t agree to it.
Sansa knew going into that room that Ramsay was going to have sex with her. That doesn’t mean she wanted to have sex, but she made that choice to get married and go into that room with the knowledge that she’d no longer be a virgin.
