...between the colorful, prideful world that many of the characters think they inhabit, and the brutal reality that Martin frequently reminds us of.
It's an interesting reminder of how unhealthy this universe's societies really are, and the things they do to try to hide from that fact.
Or maybe I'm reading to much into it.
Oh, I like the contrast he sets up. I am just not sure that the catalogues of banners are the best device for that.

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape.

The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent.

I think that the Rhaegar and Lyanna stuff does look like rape in the first book

"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"?
