"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 17/08/2012 11:56:48 AM
We only got the story from the PoV of Ned, who doesn't explicitly judge it one way or another (which right there should be an indication), and from the mouth of Robert, who is hardly in a position to know, or of a character to admit, the truth of the relationship.

Firstly, Camilla is a she. Secondly, though I won't speak for her, regarding the rape in the novels, Ghavrel - 14/08/2012 02:23:19 AM 2119 Views

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:53:44 AM 2012 Views
The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent. Camilla - 17/08/2012 12:13:26 PM 2075 Views
That was her only sex scene, until she induces him to have outdoor sex to get pregnant Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:20:09 PM 2048 Views
It is not necessary to provide a scene Camilla - 17/08/2012 10:49:20 PM 1966 Views

Re: I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Camilla - 17/08/2012 06:40:12 AM 1952 Views
I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain Cannoli - 17/08/2012 12:07:14 PM 2026 Views
I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent Stephen - 17/08/2012 01:08:15 PM 1887 Views
