"That's why the response to Sansa's rape has been so extensive," says Todd VanDerWerff. "Viewed in isolation, the scene's plot developments make sense, and you could even make an argument for its aesthetics telling a story about women being brutally subjugated in this society. (I would argue that focusing on Theon at the end was a complete mistake, but otherwise I could see it.) The problem is that it's impossible to watch the scene in isolation. Game of Thrones is full of characters who have survived all manner of trauma, but the show has yet to truly dig into the after-effects of said trauma." |
