Don't try and judge Crixus by modern moral codes. Crixus was never supposed to be the White Knight who made all the right decisions - and neither was anyone else in this show. Lucretia raped him quite a lot, and when she wasn't raping him, her asshole husband was forcing Crixus to fight to the death for his social advancement. He wasn't allowed dignity or privacy or even the company of someone who loved him. She was beaten and sent away to be raped and worked to death and he wasn't allowed to feel anything about it.

If he did the asshole thing and stab his rapist in a way that killed both her and the child he never wanted to give her, I think he can be given a pass for that. He had no choices up until then.

People have no problem judging Lucretia by them?

nayrt

Lucretia certainly had her own set of limitations to deal with, but nothing like what Crixus was forced to go through. If you're going to compare the two, she had far, far more choices and freedoms, so yes, people are going to judge her a little more harshly for doing what she did.

I don't think we're doing that, we're talking about the pain she caused, and the fact that she had the legal right to cause it doesn't mean that pain doesn't matter.

And anyway, condemning Lucretia's actions isn't judging her by modern standards. In Ancient Rome there were tons of people who thought that that kind of things were wrong: the slaves.

look, i'm actually not on board with the people who are outraged about Crixus stabbing Lucretia, because it worked within the context of the show both on a character and narrative level.

but

Don't try and judge Crixus by modern moral codes.

Violently disagree. This show is NOT an accurate historical portrayal -- it is a *fantasy* of what happened back then, and it really reflects modern moral codes in the shape and structure of those fantasies more than anything else.
