Well, the reality of it is that rape isn't necessarily an act of unadulterated evil done by a obvious villain, just like acts of coercion aren't always physical. Lucretia's behavior is complex... she has reasons that seem good to her for doing what she does, and in her mind, it's not an act of rape. That's how some rapists think: the guy who deliberately approaches a drunk girl at a party, a woman who pressures a man into having sex because "all guys want it", the husband who pressures his wife into having sex even when she doesn't want to, etc. etc.

If circumstances were different, perhaps Crixus would've consented. But there's a glaring power imbalance here, plus the complication that he's in love with another woman, so if he had a free choice in the matter, it's highly likely he would not consent, therefore: rape.

This is a good analysis. There's a caricature of rapists as power-mad violent psychopaths, but sexual assault exists on a gradient, and it's important to understand how it can happen, and even sympathise with those who find themselves in that mental process.

Understanding why it happens can help us understand how to stop doing it.

(And boy, do I hate the simplistic way some people say, "Rape is rape." Sure it is, just like "assault is assault," but we don't treat a slap as mayhem. There's a long scale.)
