11 Annoying Mistakes You Never Noticed In Game Of Thrones

7. Dany Falls In Love With Her Rapist

HBO

In one of their first scenes together, Khal Drogo rapes Dany because he cannot speak in a similar tongue to her to actually ask her. Mere episodes later Dany comes to love Drogo, simply because her handmaiden had shown her how to initiate sex.

It is plausible that Dany may want to make the best of her situation by taking control and making their sexual encounters consensual but she still comes to regard him as the best thing since sliced bread when clearly he isn€™'t.

No one in their right mind would fall in love with their rapist and yet Dany does. In a mirroring storyline, season four shows Jaime raping his sister Cersei. Here the biggest mistake comes from the fans of the show, rather than the producers.

Everybody accepts Drogo€™'s rape of Dany because she later comes to regard him as her moon and stars, but nobody can forgive Jaime. Clearly the fans need to sort out their priorities. Rape is rape. It doesn€™'t matter how much you like the character.
