ANTHONY AND SIENA/THE BOXING MATCH SCENE/SEX UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM/FUN, DESPERATION AND LOVE/WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
FOLKS, HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED THE FUNNY SEX SCENE
UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM THROUGH THE EYES OF ANTHONY AND SIENA THEMSELVES? HERE WE GO
………………..
……………….
HALLO FOLKS
Here she is again, your dedicated Bridgerton Fan
As you’ll know, I wrote a lot about Bridgerton [1], especially about the relationship between Lady Violet and her son Anthony, the Love Relationship between Anthony and opera singer Siena AND [2] about Siena herself, who is often underrated in the series, but deserves her own Platform of Honour, not only as an independent woman with her own career, long before she even met Anthony Bridgerton, but as the woman, who gave him warmth and love in the time his mother not only neglected him emotionally [what she could partially be forgiven for because of her own mourning after her husband’s death] [3], but also blackmailed him emotionally with his death father and coldly dehumanized Siena, whom he then deeply loved. [4]
And that IS unforgivable, something no mother should do to her own child.
Because understanding Violet’s motives for her objection to the Anthony and Siena Relationshiop is one thing [4A]
Acting as if her son’s great love is no human Being is a quite other Matter…..[4B]
And especially because of the love and warmth Siena gave Anthony in that Dark Period of his life with a mother who also laid an immense pressure on him, although unconsciously [5], she deserves her own Honour, which I was proud to give her! [6]
NOW:
Because of the pressure of society, increased by the immense pressure of Anthony’s mother Lady Violet [and bear in mind that however horrible her behaviour, essentially she loves him, but lashing out in social panic] [7], they have an on/off relationship [8] and on the moment of the sex scene
under the Boxing Platform, it is temporarily off again……
Now I take you to the Scene under the Boxing Platform, preceded by their
passionate glances at each other………
IS THAT FUN?
EXCITEMENT?
DESPERATION?
CRAZINESS?
FUN?/FUN
IMAGINE A MAN AND HIS BELOVED ONE HAVING SEX UNDER A
BOXING PLATFORM
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK?
I know what you think, because that’s what I think
Thought and still think
HAHAHAHA
Excitement, recklessness and craziness
And that’s all that
Excitement for US Fans and viewers to see
The Thrill, the Tension, the Passion.
EXCITEMENT!
The Tension is still increased by the fact, that the man and woman not only have sex under a Boxing Platform, during the match, with all the noise, roaring of the crowd, dust, with the boxing men above the Platform, BUT that the woman in question is present there with another man!
And that when they embrace, the other man is still sitting in public, watching the box show……
RECKLESSNESS!
The Recklessness is obvious.
Because it is an illicit Affair [between an aristocrat and an opera singer] [9] the tension is obvious, leading to recklessness.
But what do you do when it is not ”just sex” [10], but really Love and it is extremely difficult to be together? [11]
You take risks
Now HE is there with his brothers [no such problem, since his brothers will be loyal], but SHE is there with another man and the risk of danger, a fight when it is discovered is present……
CRAZINESS
Can you imagine such craziness?
Just make love under a Boxing Platform, with above a cheering crowd,
the risk of discovery, the noise, the dust?
It IS Crazy….
But when all things are said and done and we admit that having sex like that is thrilling for us to see [watch the scene] [12] but FOR THEM [Anthony and Siena] it IS risky, exciting and crazy at the same time….
The Question arises
Is this Boxing Scene [13] just FUN and AMUSEMENT
Or is there more…….
JUST TRAVEL WITH ASTRID ESSED TO THE VERY LOCATION WHERE THIS TAKES PLACE………….
Now let’s take a closer look at what really happened…..
‘ANTHONY AND SIENA/SEXSCENE UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM/WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
IMAGINE FOLKS, WE ARE IN THE PUBLIC, WATCHING THE BOXING MATCH……
Imagine we’ve bought a cheap ticket, enjoying the match, sitting beneath, between all those shouting, steaming and screaming people.
The Lords and other rich people are upstairs, having the best seats, looking down on us and the match.
Then suddenly we recognize the three rich and trendy Bridgerton brothers, cheering just as enthusiastically as we, the common people, encouraging the boxers.
What WE don’t know is that one of the brothers, the eldest, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton and Head of the Family [13A], is not just watching the show, but is suddenly distracted by someone, who means a lot to him and with whom he is passionately in love, but they’ve temporarily split up, since it was an on/off relationship due to society pressures and their passionate characters[14]
He is just staring at her, not interested in the match anymore.
But since his love affair is illicit, due to social barriers [15] and the fierce resistance and dehumanizing behaviour of his dominant mother against his beloved one [16], he can’t approach her openly.
So he looks at his brothers furtively but seeing that they only have eyes for the boxing match, he resumes his obsessive staring at the woman he loves and can’t give up. [16A]
Then, in the scene, the music is almost unheimlich.
Initially she doesn’t notice him, being there with another man out of survival necessity, since Anthony had ended their relationship [ not for the first time] [16B], not realizing that he left her without any livelihood [ignorant of her precarious position not due to lack of love, but because of his spoiled rich boy’s privilege] [17]
But you know how it is:
If someone stares at you continually, you suddenly ”feel” it
So happened to Siena.
Suddenly she looks up and sees him and then something magical happens:
As if they were gravitated to each other, they intensily watched each other as if there were no other people in the hot, crowded and steaming Boxing Space……..
What Siena did NOT see was that her companion, the man she was with, [a draper] suddenly got startled, seeing Anthony staring.
He must have thought: Now I’ve lost her
In Siena’s watching Anthony was a mixture of sorrow, intensity, pride but also
loving fear since she felt the intensity of his feelings.
As if she thought:
”I will never escape him” [18]
And that was exactly what HE thought:
”You will never escape me….” [18A]
Obsessed as he was by true love
Because so many times he broke off the relationship or she did, but because of their deep love for each other they always got back together.[19]
Now it is very unlikely, FOLKS, that we would have seen those desperate glances to each other, as we only knew them superficially [Anthony as great Lord, galloping past us and more likely Siena Rosso as opera singer], because after all we came for the match and we didn’t belong to the Ton members [20], so not knowing the [in Ton eyes] scandalous Anthony and Siena Affair. [21]
The only thing WE might perhaps notice was that Anthony Bridgerton suddenly left the Boxing Space and that, later, Siena Rosso left too.
But it would have escaped our attention, that there was a connection between the Viscount and the opera singer leaving the Boxing Room shortly after each other…..
ANYWAY
They found themselves at the least romantic Place, UNDER the Boxing Scene, far from the prying eyes of the Ton [22] and the undoubtedly shocked gazes of Anthony’s mother [23], the Only Place where they could be together at the moment, with above them the noise and screaming
of the crowd and the heavy blows of the fighting boxers landing in the ring.
And there, at that dusty and semi dark Place, they embraced each other with a fierce , almost desperate intensity, she pushing him to the wall and almost tore his clothes off……while he was standing there in total surrender to the woman he loved…….[24]
ANTHONY AND SIENA/SEXSCENE UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM/FUN, DESPERATION AND LOVE
THROUGH THE EYES OF ANTHONY AND SIENA
DESPERATION AND LOVE
PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES….
Okay Folks, we have had our hot, intense and funny Sex Scene between
Anthony and Siena under the Boxing Platform! [25]
Even more exciting because of
THE RISK OF A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN TWO MEN WANTING THE SAME WOMAN……[26]
But now what about Anthony and Siena THEMSELVES?
You think they enjoyed this on the same way we did?
In Other Words:
DID THEY FOUND IT FUNNY, HOT AND SPICY TOO ?
COMMENTING……………..
…………………..
Perhaps it HAD a ”thrilling”, ”daring” and ”reckless” Element for them too.
Something like ”We against the World” [27]
After all
They were young, passionate in love
But WAS it Just ”FUN” for them?
PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES…….
Imagine you are a young aristocrat in Regency Era or no, Imagine you are just yourself, that’s more easy, since we are no Ton People [28], at least most of us aren’t
You are young and you are desperately in love.
But you can’t be with your loved one, due to some bigotic rules.
You can’t see each other in public.
That means:
Not going for some walk, not eating in restaurants, not going
to the movies, not going to a dance.
Even when you see each other in public, you have to avoid eye contact or only can nod briefly at each other, while all you truly want is to be together.
And if that’s not worse enough, the people who are supposed to love you, like your mother, are dehumanizing your Love Affair, as if your love is sordid.
So Love itself becomes a crime…….
And the only places where you can see each other without limitations of society are in private spaces like rented apartments, dark places, etc
In Short:
Places where others can’t see you
Did I already say, that a marriage between those two loved ones is impossible?
Well, I think you have understood that already……………
WELL FOLKS, THAT WAS THE SITUATION ANTHONY AND SIENA WERE IN
Although the Ton had no objection against an Affair between a young aristocrat and an opera singer, when it was a mere ”distraction” the ”unwritten rules” were, that they kept it in the dark , like I described above.
Now that can be hot and Funny, when there are no real feelings involved, but what if they are in love with each other, as happened to Anthony and Siena [29]?
YES, that was a Major Problem.
Because playing some Sex in the dark, when there are no real feelings involved is one thing [although it of course is ridiculous that you can’t be seen, even when it is just sex] [30], but when you love each other, you want to be together in public, in ”’the Light”
You want to walk together in Kew Gardens, wine and dine in restaurants, going out together.
In Short:
Do what people in love do.
That it is a major and serious Blow to someone’s emotional State that you are forbidden to be openly with the one you love, everyone understands.
To your Information, Astrid Essed asked an AI what it does emotionally with a young Regency Aristocrat, when being in love with an opera singer and prohibited to be together on a normal way. [30A]
It triggers feelings like deep melancholy, bitter psychological anguish, and a crushing sense of powerlessness. [31]
And Anthony also had to face the bitter reality, that being the Eldest son and the Head of the Family [32] his position was even more emotionally precarious, also suffering feelings of pervasive guilt [torn between his position as Head of the Family and the Feelings of his Heart] , and a painful sense of powerlessness [33], still enlarged by the fact, that being Head of the Family didn’t give him more power to follow his own heart desires, but forced him to choose between his duty and his Heart [33A]
ANTHONY AND SIENA/SEXSCENE UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM/FUN, DESPERATION AND LOVE
THROUGH THE EYES OF ANTHONY AND SIENA
DESPERATION AND LOVE
So Folks, THAT was their REAL SITUATION
Apart from All the Fun, Thrill, Excitement and ”Recklessness”’
Due to their impossible situation, strictly forbidding [from perspective of Ton Society] a marriage between an aristocrat and operasinger on pain of the social death [34], they had to hide as criminals [35], which caused a severe painful State to Anthony and Siena, who was already stigmatized by her occupation as operasinger [36]
It was heartbreaking to see the expression of pain on Anthony’s face when he said in another Scene to Siena, meeting her on the Eve of the Duel
””If I live to see sunrise I’m free…..free of society….free of these rules
the very ones that keep us apart…we can go together away from all this Siena…..” [37]
And that painful Expression on his Face revealed all the Pain, the Sorrow, the Depression and the Anguish this Forbidden Love caused……
Then NOW People will understand, why it was an on/off Relationship, due to all this societal and familial pressure [think of the personal pressure of Anthony’s mother Lady Violet, although stemming from understandable social fear, yet dehumanizing to Siena personally and by proxy hurting her own son, for which is no excuse] [38]
SEX AND EXCITEMENT/NOT [ONLY] A GAME
You must view this Spicy Sex Scene under the Boxing Platform [39] against this Background.
Apparently their Relationship was split up again and Siena, with pain in her heart had begun a new life with another man, a draper [40], from bare necessity of survival [41]
Then she goes to the Boxing Show with him and looking at her face you can see she is not all that happy, since she misses her Great Love.
Anthony is at the show with his brothers, initially enthusiastically seeming to watch the show [we will never know if he went to the show spontaneously or followed Siena and her new man].
Then suddenly his enthusiastic face changes into a look of passionate, nearly obsessed love, staring at her as if she is alone in that Space, as if to say:
”Being with another or not, you only belong to me”
When she eventually sees him [people feel when someone is staring at them] , she stares at him with an expression of sorrow, pain, loss, love, but also with the startled expression of someone who thinks:
”I will never escape him…” [42]
YOU SEE THE DESPERATION NOW?
Because he can’t just speak to her or greet her in public [43], let alone make an appointment [44], he has to resort to extreme measures.
So he stares obsessively at her until she feels it and stares back just intensely [45]
In his obsessive staring, he claims her, ignoring the fact that she is there with another man.
And they both long for each other so much, that they are drawn to each other like magnets and eventually come together under the Boxing Platform.
Imagine the great love, ignoring the unpleasant atmosphere, dusty, cramped, noise of the fighting boxers, the cheering of the crowd, just to be with each other.
Imagine the Despair:
They HAVE to resort to Spaces like that, simply because Regency Era Society denies them a proper place to court each other.
THE GAME AND THE DESPAIR
The fact, that a young Regency Era aristocrat was willing to have sex under a Boxing PLatform, during the match, is not only daring, funny, reckless and spicy, but above all testifies of a great love, because of the willingness to take that risk and to ”lower” yourself as a Viscount.
It testifies of the despair to which they both fell prey, not being able to see each other on a normal way in public [46]
Because it was the very Society that incriminated their Affair, leading to extreme acts as the Box Scene, as ”scandalous” [47], after they had denied them one of the most fundamental Rights of Mankind, the Right to Love and to be Together [48]
SO THIS VERY VERY SEX SCENE UNDER THE BOX PLATFORM IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLES OF TRUE AND GENUINE LOVE IN THE BRIDGERTON SERIES BECAUSE OF THE WILLINGNESS OF TWO PEOPLE TO BE TOGETHER UNDER EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES DESPITE THE REGENCY DEHUMANIZATION OF THEIR LOVE [49]
