This is a sad truth in our world.
But I also do not think this is what the show is trying to say and I think it's pointless to project that onto the show or read into the timing of it. If it happened right after the "intimacy" with the prince, I could see it taken as a direct consequence in the world of the woods, or if she had decided to leave her husband because of it. But she has a whole lengthy song where she weighs what just happened and comes to appreciate her husband even more than before. That makes it all the more sad and upsetting when she is killed so randomly, and while alone, trying to get back to the group. |
