I'm gonna say it again
Reading chapters 32,33 and seeing him trying to act a little bit like a human and trying to talk instead of torturing her is making me expect some good development even after knowing the spoilers
But NOOO she has to be stupid and not say what she really mean ..
Exactly but Both are stupid tbh
He put her in jail and whipped her as soon as they met and when he regretted it and tried being nice to her and the kids and told her he wants her to be his queen she started being like oohhh noooo i want my husband who raped me and didn't even bother hiding his pregnant mistress
true
He didn't have to be violence he could just locked her up or talked to her at least and everything is gonna happen is entirely his fault
We're not blaming the victim..but she can talk to him and not try to escape every time for god knows why .. like there's nothing else she could go back to
She Just stupid
Both of them needs to communicate.. but it's not that easy giving the way the grow up in
Well, it happens to people a lot. When they can't the real culprit directly, they go after their family members and the loved ones. So I won't blame the ML because the pain he went through is unimaginable. If it was me, I'd go insane.
It was unfortunate that he turned mental and projected his pain to an innocent person. His heart was so filled with hatred that he didn't know he loved her.
I feel bad for her the same way. But she really had to marry the soldier or live alone,rather than going back to him.
And? It happens but it doesn't mean this offers any type of justification.Abuse happens all the time and is part of many people unable to adopt healthy coping mechanisms. But trauma isn't a free ticket to avoid the consequences of your actions nor does it give you a pass at abusing someone innocent. She deserves better and there's no doubt about that. His trauma doesn't mean she has to accept what he did to her, hell she doesn't even have to forgive him if she doesn't want to. I liked how realistic the novel was since she never completely healed from what she experience. The ending was bittersweet to me because i really hoped she wouldn't end up with him.
Of course not. You are absolutely right. She deserves better and he has no right to hurt her because of his trauma. However, realistically, isn't this what's happening around us? The author just tried to be realistic. When we are emotionally blind, we don't follow logic.
That's why I can't blame him. The same reason, I don't like the part that she chose him in the end. She deserves better. She could either stay single for the rest of her life or marry the soldier who liked her.
Yes... I'm not saying that it isn't 'natural' for some people, but let's be realistic, not everyone would react the way he did, it very much depends on the person and their deep rooted beliefs when it comes to how they would react to trauma. Personally, although i understand his 'motivation', i still blame him, i still feel resentment over what he did to this woman because his choices could still be different. Everyone could be different, every person has that potential depending on a lot of factors. Just like how many abusers could be different. Understanding doesn't equal acceptance over someone's action. I understand but I don't accept. As for the ending, i agree... Unfortunately though, many victims of abuse, due to human nature, choose what's familiar to them because it's the only way to cope. It's kind of like Stockholm syndrome and truthfully heartbreaking... The man did change at least, which is better than him remaining abusive... All I'm concerned about though, is that she never fully heals :(











The priest is such a waste of a beautiful art -_-
