One thing that has confused me in other posts in their interpretation of what one of the (now ex) wives back in the village said. She said that she'd refused to sleep with him more than once (before the herb). Most people seem to be saying that she meant that she'd slept with him once and then stopped, but from the way she was acting, I completely thought that she was saying that more than once, she'd refused to sleep with him. As in, turning him down multiple times.

That's the way I heard it, too. She'd turned him down more than once...

Uh, I took your interpretation and find the other one sketchy!

As in, he raped them all. That's how I took it.

Without fanfare, but lack of consent, which is the case here since it could not be given freely? Is rape.

No, I got the rape inferences. They were pretty clear. People just seemed to be thinking that she'd slept with him before the herb.

And, wow, my new icon such a bad icon to have as a default when talking about serious things.

No, you're right. She refused more than once.

I took it to mean that she refused him more than once.

I don't think it really matters if she slept with him before or not the fact that he was using a drug to influence them into sleeping with him now...he took away their ablity to consent.

I'm not questioning whether or not it was rape. Obviously, it was not consensual once they were under the drug. I was questioning the interpretation of her character before she got drugged.

I was surprised when people thought that she'd have slept with him before getting drugged into it because... there was nothing appealing about him. I couldn't see why she would ever have said 'yes' even once, so the thought never crossed my mind and I was confused when other people were wondering why she'd said 'yes' once.

Based on her cadence and emphasis, I interpretted what she said as, "I slept with him once, but then refused several times." So, now we have to watch it again. Oh, woe is us.

Really? I totally went with, "I refused him many times (and then he went all Hathor and I became his wife)."
