still thinking about that line. women as barometers of society’s politeness.

#its so maxanneeleanormiranda black sails #but also like. the difference in the way esme and elizabeth regard their departure from civility.#and the way those codes of behavior stay or don't stay with them.#esmeralda is very violent against the colonial oppressor in action but she still mimics the civilized codes of behavior and fashion #even the way she engages in love is much more courtly than elizabeth ever wants it to be.#(esmeralda is also a good deal older than elizabeth to be fair which i don't often acknowledge. she was much closer to cotbp elizabeth when #she was freshly escaped from the convent and beating up jack. that's a very similar moment in their journey and disposition)#which ... almost makes it interesting that dmtnt elizabeth has reconciled with these civil codes of femininity in the same way #esmeralda does?#✘; I HAVE SEVENTY TWO EXAMS AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR ONE ( ooc )
