Re: Rape As Drama- It's In-Fucking-Escapable
What depresses me more than anything is that, for the bad she did [there's no arguing that she *did* do some bad things] she also did some good ones...and *those* rarely get recognized in the books about her. For example, she actually did argue with Cromwell that what was gotten from the monasteries should go to charities for the people - not the kings coffers. But everyone chooses to ignore those things in favor of the bad.
The one thing I will say on the rape bit is just...I'm not sure it's particularly unlikely. Not because of who was involved but...well. At that time period rape wasn't, legallly, considered possible between a husband and wife. A husband had his right to...ah...'use' his wife whenever he chose, and if she refused him he was in his rights to take it from her. Not that I think that's right - it never is - but...that is how things were at the time. So, it actually possible likely that there was a rape somewhere in the mix, and no one would comment on it/write about it since it wouldn't seem out of place, sadly. Other than that, the bit about rape was actually directed at the secret and about The Borgias more than it was The Other Boleyn Girl.
