This is all true, of course, but my point is that none of this is particularly deep or the focus of more than a handful of Black Woman Free-ish Since 1865 Shirt. The part about wars perpetuating violence might have worked better if we ever got to see any broken men. We’re never shown a normal man being psychologically broken by endless war, we’re told about it in the abstract offhandedly by a minor character.
I find the class element of how Poole and Stark are treated to be still kinda shallow and surface-level. There’s no deeper analysis beyond Jeyne being raped repeatedly for pathos. It’s just misery porn. Regardless, Ramsay also tortures Theon and Donella Hornwood. Hell, Petyr putting Jeyne in the brothel makes no sense because surely she’s supposed to remain virginal before her betrothal?
