    one thing i didnt like was how they brushed over the fact that Pamuk largely forced himself into Mary’s bedroom. She didn’t pursue him except for harmless flirting while hunting, and he was the one to enter her room and tell her not to scream or put up a fight. She only went along with it because he intrigued her as much as she intrigued him. I wouldn’t say that she was raped or assaulted, but it wasn’t Mary’s idea and I never saw her as any less honorable (for the time period)

    I really loved how this showed that first and foremost, they were friends. They knew each other so well -- this secret gave him pause because for a minute he questioned if he really knew her like he thought, but then after he sorts it out, they fall into easy conversation and comraderie once more. He knows she is flawed -- as is he. In those days men had little friendship and intimacy with women, they were supposed to pure and proper angels, not real human beings. But Matthew knows better, knows she is a whole person, and that's what makes their love so real and strong.

    Honestly I am glad Mary listened to her father and Mathew. No one liked him and for good reason. A marriage with him would not have been just unpleasant. Showing he was not above blackmailing Mary into matrimony shows that he is emotionally manipulative and has no issue with disregarding morals to get what he wants. If she had stayed with him she would have signed away her freedom and probably herself because with people like Richard who do not care about anything other than what they wanted he would have used emotional and probably physical abuse to train her into his "perfect" wife. She probably would have tried to fight , but she would be worn down. Sorry to get so dark, but out of all the villianous people in this show Richard is up there with Mr.Bates ex wife, and the nanny.

    Mary and Richard Carlisle's proposed sham marriage was built on an entire season of his threat to reveal her secret.

      They probably announced the engagement like the very next day. But like to announce a scandal like that which happened YEARS ago when the Earls daughter and his heir just announced their getting married? He wouldn't dare. That would make him public enemy number 1. Better to go along with it saying to everyone that it just didn't work out because of Mary and Matthew being so in love. Carlisle is a business man and would think twice before publishing something that could take down his whole empire. If Mary and Matthew didn't get engaged, then I think yes we would of seen a lot more of the fallout but I think this is a much more of a neat way to tie things up plus we get Mary and Matthew together.

      Before leaving, Sir Richard told Mary that he loved her much more than she loved him, and he might be very sincere in that moment. His threats could be motivated by the fact that he knew all along Mary was half-hearted with him and he was a man who always wins. By the end of it, he might choose not to expose Mary because he knew it would hurt her so much.

    I know this was a hundred years ago, in a provincial setting and involving a particularly conservative stratum of society. But even then, I find it hard to believe people would be so horrified by a grown woman, whose only claim to fame is springing from an aristocratic line that hasn’t done much of note in many generations, having had a one night stand some years earlier. After four years of hell on earth, people are that eager to wag their tongues over a thoroughly uninteresting scandal?

      Let’s be honest though it wasn’t about the sex, it’s about rich people having more avenues for financial success and avoiding paying their taxes; and the lower classes using every tool to ground them. Sex is just a tool they used. Mary’s virginity was just another tool, used to uphold that better than thou attitude she treated everybody with. Purity has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with how you treat others. I would like to note the religious people I went to school with were some of the nicest people I’ve met because they understood humility.

      She doesn't seem even slightly wooden to me. She and Dan Stevens are both intense in this scene. She has a singular talent for expressing powerful emotions while keeping her facial expressions and vocal tone restrained, which makes her perfect to play a passionate lady of that time and place. The chemistry between Mary and Matthew is always electric!

      Although we can never be sure, I think the fact that they were quick to grab those sheets and run indicates that those two actually slept together. I doubt that Mary would have described herself as damaged and impure if he had only been ‘getting ready’ to do the deed at the time of his death.

      I studied Tess and we spent months on all the contemporary and not so critics who were on both sides of the ' raped or seduced ' debate . Also Pamuk kissed her multiple times with no consent and she was shocked and then he comes into her bedroom which is already half way ruined her if anyone knows even if nothing happened. Mart wasn't dragged into an alley but she was coerced . Like virgin who don't even know what a condom is levels of innocence vs a man who can brush off a man trying to flirt with him and flip the tables in a snap ( vs Jimmy's reaction decade later ) in an attempt to seduce said innocent young woman .
