I have been seeing a lot of comments talking about how her behavior towards her baby is unjustified because she didn't try to get any help and it's making me super sad so please read my comment only if you won't get salty with me.
I understand all your perspectives about asking for help and how babies are precious and don't deserve mistreatment no matter the circumstances, especially as someone raised in the 21st century!
But remember that these were olden times If she could just make things alright by speaking up, She wouldn't even have married Harsen in the first place. It was a duty entrusted upon women, barely legal age to marry/be sold off for political connections and start making babies for the house/family. Women were only decoration and baby-making machines in those times so please try to understand things from the FL's perspective taking into account her upbringing, the societal rules of her time, and also how powerless women were in comparison to men in those times. I mean her newborn son enjoyed more privilege than her in terms of education, owning property, etc.
╥﹏╥
And to be honest who knows what stigma was attached to mental health in that era. She must have been so scared having scary thoughts about her baby........
