IMO it doesn't make sense to rape the 'whore' typecast of the Forsaken. The chapter makes as if she was hysterical with fear while it happened, but I find it very out of character. Graendal is meant to be the symbol of sexual perversion in the series... raping her is probably not a good symbolic punishment for her.


I think it is totally out of character for her to yell out and resist so much. That would fit Mesaana. Graendal would have handled it better.


Yes, but to be fair, SH evoked fear in Semirhage, and she considered it an emotion that had become foreign to her.

I'll find it upsetting if Graendal becomes like Mesaana i.e. severely emotionally traumatized. Mesaana could barely hold a wine glass after SH got hold of her. I'm hoping that Graendal becomes enraged and utterly ruthless. Anything else will limit her contribution to the last book.

If you're right, the series is saying that sexism is evil. I don't see a problem with that. *NM* - 02/11/2010 03:03:21 AM 522 Views
Except sexism is a core element/theme of the series - 03/11/2010 02:23:37 PM 1015 Views
