being happy means nothing, though i interpreted it as being flustered more than anything. you really don't know anything about thorfinn if you think he would marry or do anything for the sake of being happy before he felt like he had atoned for all the husbands he has torn from...
@truepurple
as usual, you ignore the context and are confusing what is in the story with what the quality you want to see. sig doesn't give a damn about gudrid's woman-ness. he admires the fact that haalfdan had set his greedy eyes on her, yet she managed to be brave enough to break free. it is...

just because life was hard, it is not an excuse to make life hard for others. you don't get a free pass to be an ass, ever. maybe she deserves pity, but she also deserves punishment for her own poor behavior.
this is why AI development must be stopped. i already have my friends and family looking at me with disdain, i don't want my computer and cell doing the same
