“I love you.

I have loved you from the moment we raced each other in that park. I’ve loved you at every dance, on every walk, every time we’ve been together, and every time we’ve been apart.

You do not have to accept it or embrace it, or even allow it. Knowing you, you probably will not. But you must know it, in your heart. You must feel it because I do.

I love you.”

-Bridgerton 2x08

Hey, so I just saw the post about the books and what's pissing you off about them and I have this one thing about TVWLM that's bothering me endlessly and I would very much like to hear your opinion, if you don't mind?

So, the study scene is a favorite, obviously, and I really enjoy the first half of it too, with Kate crouching under the desk and grabbing Anthony and everything, but I always get bad chills reading the second part. He locks her in the room with him, he screams at her (I'm going to kill you), Kate feels the need to put a chair between herself and him and then he kisses her without any kind of consent beforehand.

I'm always for playing some sexy catch, but I don't feel like Anthony and Kate's relationship was at a point to do that. I mean, even I feel a bit frightened by Anthony reading this part, even though I, as the reader, know his inner turmoil and thoughts and that he'd never do something actually hurtful.

What do you think/feel about that? Am I taking this too seriously (like, how often JQ has the Bridgertons threaten each other with death, I know it's just sibling talk, but for me that's just too much too), or is there a different perspective I could/should read this from? (Pls don't feel pressured to answer or anything, I just don't really have anybody to talk Bridgerton with and I really enjoy following you - xx)

All Bridgerton books have that one scene that makes them problematic. Congratulations anon you just found the red flag of The Viscount Who Loved Me.

Even Anthony recognizes it as soon as he threw the key on the floor that making Kate lower herself to pick it up was a major dick move. Especially after kissing her. But wasn't that the point? he wanted to drive her away. He'd never actively been cruel to her before. With that move he was successful in making Kate want to stay away from him.

Of course at this point in the book Anthony isn't sure it's what he really wants anymore. But the whole point of the red flag scene is that Anthony wanted to punish Kate for making him want her and regretted it instantly.

Here's the thing anon, Anthony is one hell of a clown, but he's not stupid. From the beginning Anthony was very aware of what kind of woman could make him fall head over heels inlove. He just decided to marry someone who was the opposite of his ideal woman because falling inlove would turn his eventual widow into someone like his mother. Unlike Colin and Benedict, Anthony started TVWL with an impressive degree of self awareness. It just happens to go downhill from there.

And lo and behold, his ideal woman is the sister of the debutante he wants to court. In TVWL Anthony is fighting the inevitable every step of the way because he knows! Kate is right there and he's self aware, he knows he could love her, she's perfect for him, all it would take would be a little time and he'd be a complete gonner. At least the man doesn't make a habit of lying to himself.

So he needs to stay away from Kate. He doesn't want to love her. If he loved her, he'd want to make her happy and she would be super unhappy when he eventually died....(told you he was a clown)

So okay, the whole staying away from Kate thing, turns out he has no self control, that's just not working, he's having wet dreams, he's fantasizing about the smell of her soap, if he's left alone with Kate, he's going to pounce on her, Anthony knows that much. Time for plan B

Plan B is making Kate want to stay away from him.

Hence the scene where he kisses her, intentionally scares her witless and humiliates her on purpose. Because that's the point, he wants to punish her for screwing up his perfectly made plans, who asked Kate to be his perfect match?, Kate needs to hate him, if she hates him, she will stay away from him and Anthony can just marry Edwina and move on with his life.

Except that guess what? that doesn't work either.

Apparently Kate also has no self control and can't be on her best behavior for a long period of time where Anthony is concerned and there's that. He tried to make her hate him okay! by the third time he's alone with her, he gives up, he's already compromised her, he's going to marry her. He's tired of fighting himself, maybe if he bangs her he will get her out of his system. Yup, that's plan C, bang Kate, she just makes him sexually frustrated, he is not inlove.

Plan C fails, turns out that marriage means having the option of banging Kate any time of the day and he's very enthusiastic about that. He wants to spend more time with her, lol he can, he's her husband, he can see Kate anytime he wants. So he just picks 'all the time' . Self control? who needs that, he's married, married men can do what they want with their wives and it's not weird. He didn't get to do that when they were both single....But oh shit, are those feelings he's having for her?

Oh hell no! he's inlove?? since when?? Why didn't anyobody tell him? Is that what those pesky emotions were? You mean the spark he felt when he met Kate was love? What is he going to do now?

So yeah Anon, that's it, that's a tour in the head of my favorite clown. You are not taking this too seriously, that scene IS problematic. It's meant to be. And it should be taken at face value for the asshole move it is. Anthony was a dick.
