*trigger warning for rape discussion*

Agreed with everyone else, this scene gave me the creeps. I think there was definitely a sexual undertone to the way he circled her chair and lightly touched her hair. I feel like Agravaine’s approach to Guinevere is very characteristic of how white men of privilege have historically treated poor women of color. Remember how he acknowledged to Arthur that she’s a beautiful woman, yet remained contemptible of Arthur’s love for her? He clearly thought Gwen’s class status granted noblemen unrestricted access to her body, but absolved them of any obligation to love or respect her. I totally think if this wasn’t a ‘family’ show, he would have tried to rape her before killing her. Like, that’s how creepy a vibe I got from this scene.
