BRIDGERTON SEX SCENES/SEX UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM BETWEEN ANTHONY AND SIENA/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]
Folks, it was nice to travel with you again

Bridgerton/Violet’s immense pressure on Anthony because of his Love for Siena Rosso/You reap what you sow, Lady Violent…..

Violet-S3E4

LADY VIOLET BRIDGERTON
1x01-37
ANTHONY AND SIENA

VIOLET’S IMMENSE PRESSURE ON ANTHONY BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR SIENA ROSSO/YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, LADY VIOLENT……

”YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”

[1A]

HALLO FOLKS
HERE IS YOUR DEDICATED BRIDGERTON FAN AGAIN!
This Time to give you some examples of the Immense Pressure and Emotional Blackmail of Lady  Violet, Anthony’s mother, because of his deep love for opera singer Siena Rosso [1]
For some Fans this is no surprising Information.
But there ARE Fans who still believe that Lady Violet was such a ”loving mother” and had such a ”wonderful relationship” with her children, at least that is the [with all respect] nonsense I sometimes read on Google.
AND DON’T MAKE MISTAKE:
I am NOT saying that she didn’t LOVE her children, because she did.
But especially with Anthony, she had a difficult and strained relationship.
Read all about that under Note 2
That only worsened when he fell deeply in love with opera singer Siena Rosso [3]
From that moment on,  her already existing emotional neglect of him [4] [not completely her fault, admitted, due to her long mourning for her beloved husband Edmund, what no one will blame her] became worse.
She dehumanized his beloved Siena Rosso [5]  , continually depicting her as a ”scandal”, acted as if their love was something sordid you have to be ashamed
 for [6] , gave him a guilty feeling by constantly reminding him of his dead father [7] or simply denied her existence [8]
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT DOES TO A SON, WHO IS IN LOVE, WHEN HIS MOTHER CONTINUALLY DEHUMANIZES HIS LOVE?
I will tell you [but you’il probably understand]
FEELINGS OF INNER RAGE
I quote AI
”A continual barrage of insults aimed at his partner sparks a quiet but corrosive inner rage. He feels manipulated by the very mother to whom he is expected to show unwavering reverence. This internalized anger, trapped by the strictures of polite society and filial piety, manifests as emotional volatility, silent brooding, or sudden, uncharacteristic bursts of passion or defensiveness. [9]
But there is more
Astrid Essed asked the AI, if a son, whose loved one is continually insulted by his mother [I revealed the circumstances of Violet and Anthony being nobles in Regency Era] will resent his mother.
I got the answer you and I already could k now
YES
I quote
”Will He Resent His Mother?
Yes, he is highly likely to develop profound resentment toward his mother. Because the son sees his partner as worthy of love and respect, his mother’s relentless cruelty often feels like an emotional betrayal.”
[10]
WELL FOLKS, THAT IS CLEAR LANGUAGE!
And eventually Lady Violent paid the price for it.
We may be sorry for her, but it was the price she paid for her own behaviour, especially since she never corrected it or held herself accountable.
AND MAKE NO MISTAKE!
I really understand Violet’s  objections against the Love Relationship  of her son Anthony and opera singer Siena Rosso due to her understandable and real fear of the social death [11], BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE FOR THE MEAN, NASTY AND DEHUMANIZING WAY SHE HANDLED IT!
For apparently it didn’t sink in to her  that, by expressing herself this way about the woman he loved, she was not only deeply dehumanizing Siena Rosso, but also striking at the very core of her son’s well being.
But eventually, she paid the price for it……
For even after his marriage and happiness with Kate Sharma [12], Anthony not only continued to keep a safe distance [he moved to the countryside] [13],  he continued to harbor resentment for the dehumanizing way his mother, Lady Violent, had handled his romantic relationship with Siena Rosso.” [14]
AND he would never forget, that when he was heartbroken from the Break up with Siena, only his best friend and now brother in law Simon Basset  [15] comforted him in an affectionately way [16]
Only the Facade of Duty and Cool Politeness remained……
For like I said:
Having reasonable objections due to fear for te social death [17] is One Thing.
Dehumanizing the woman your son loves is unforgivable. [18]
SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOLKS!

AI OVERVIEW
AI OVERVIEW
Confrontation in the Study (Episode 1)
One of the most powerful confrontations takes place in the family study. Violet reminds Anthony of his responsibilities as the head of the household and addresses his double life:
The confrontation: Violet asks Anthony point-blank whether, upon leaving the room, he will return to his own home or visit “a certain soprano across town.”
Violet’s message: She states that he is neglecting his duties. She also says that he relies on his younger brothers to ultimately do the work that he “cannot do” (securing an heir and upholding the family name). She ends with the devastating question of whether he is merely an older brother, or truly the “man of the house.”

VIOLET’S EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
VIOLET’S EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
  • The Comparison with Edmund: Bringing up his late father—”Your father would never…”—exploits Anthony’s greatest trauma. It is an emotional ultimatum that deploys Edmund’s memory to force Anthony into compliance.
This scene from Bridgerton [SEE THE LINK ABOVE] hits hard because it perfectly utilizes Lady Violet’s maternal authority to break through Anthony’s defense mechanisms. Her criticism devalues his love for “the opera singer,” while simultaneously weaponizing his deepest emotional wound: the loss of his father.
The Three Layers of Pain
  • The Dehumanization: By referring to her merely as “a certain soprano” instead of by her name (Siena Rosso), Violet strips her of her humanity. This deliberate insult turns the woman Anthony loves into an anonymous scandal.
  • The Comparison with Edmund: Bringing up his late father—”Your father would never…”—exploits Anthony’s greatest trauma. It is an emotional ultimatum that deploys Edmund’s memory to force Anthony into compliance.
  • The Financial Dig: Emphasizing the fact that Anthony pays for the apartment frames their relationship as purely transactional. This ignores the emotional reality of their bond, which viewers knew he was willing to give up his title and life for.

DEHUMANIZATION OF SIENA BY VIOLET

ANTHONY’S REACTION ON VIOLET’S DEHUMANIZATION OF SIENA [”A CERTAIN SOPRANO”]
ANTHONY’S REACTION TO VIOLET’S DEHUMANISATION
ANTHONY’S REACTION
During that specific, chilling confrontation in his study in Season 1, Anthony deflects by putting on an iron mask of indifference. When Lady Violet launches her devastating attack, he refuses to give her the emotional reaction she is craving.
How Anthony Deflects
  • Physical absorption: Anthony does not react verbally. He tenses physically and squares his shoulders tightly to absorb the blow of her words.
  • The icy glare: Instead of exploding, he locks eyes with her, staring coldly and rigidly. It is a look of wounded pride.
  • The feigned indifference: He attempts to fake total unconcern, as if her remark about the “certain soprano” means absolutely nothing to him.

AI OVERVIEW
EVEN MEANER/VIOLET’S SILENCING OF SIENA
Violet’s disparaging attitude is destructive precisely because she rarely lashes out explicitly. She uses passive aggression and manipulative silences to brand Siena as an invisible yet unmistakable ‘sinful distraction’ and a danger to the family.
Here are three specific examples from Season 1, outlined and analyzed to demonstrate how Violet systematically undermines Siena’s dignity:
1. The strategic absence of her name (The tactic of silencing)
In all the scenes where Violet confronts Anthony about his extramarital escapades, she consistently refuses to utter the name ‘Siena.’
  • The dynamics: By not calling her by her name, Violet refuses to recognize Siena as a flesh-and-blood human being. In Violet’s eyes, Siena is not a woman with feelings, but an abstract ‘problem’ or a ‘sin’ that needs to be resolved.
  • The effect: This is one of the most disparaging forms of exclusion. Violet thereby reduces Siena to a nameless temptation, a temporary illness Anthony must recover from in order to take his duties as Viscount seriously again.
2. The compulsive invocation of Edmund’s legacy (Guilt as a weapon)
Whenever Anthony leaves the ballroom or arrives late for Daphne’s presentation, Violet directly intertwines her reprimands with the memory of his deceased father, Edmund.
  • The dynamics: Violet never says directly, “You are with that inferior opera singer.” Instead, with a cold, disappointed look, she says, “Your father should see how you neglect your duties,” or “If you want people to listen to you as Lord Bridgerton, you will have to behave accordingly.”
  • The effect: Through this, Violet directly links Siena to Anthony’s moral failure. Without uttering Siena’s name, she turns Siena into the embodiment of Anthony’s guilt. Siena is framed as the obstacle preventing Anthony from becoming his father’s worthy successor.
3. The contrasting praise of ‘respectable’ women (The subtle comparison)
Throughout Season 1, Violet constantly pushes Anthony toward the ‘marriage mart’ and praises the virtues of young debutantes from high society.
  • The dynamics: During family breakfasts or moments when she reads Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, Violet speaks highly of the “purity,” “elegance,” and “honorability” of suitable marriage candidates. She does so while looking intently at Anthony.
  • The effect: This is a razor-sharp, implicit sneer at Siena. By hammering on what makes a woman ‘respectable’ and ‘virtuous,’ she outlines a perfect profile that Siena — as a working woman and an opera singer without noble status — can never match. She thus indirectly condemns Siena as an ‘unworthy and destructive’ sin.

ANTHONY AND SIENA

VIOLET’S IMMENSE PRESSURE ON ANTHONY BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR SIENA ROSSO/YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, LADY VIOLENT……

”YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”

[1A]

HALLO FOLKS
HERE IS YOUR DEDICATED BRIDGERTON FAN AGAIN!
This Time to give you some examples of the Immense Pressure and Emotional Blackmail of Lady  Violet, Anthony’s mother, because of his deep love for opera singer Siena Rosso [1]
For some Fans this is no surprising Information.
But there ARE Fans who still believe that Lady Violet was such a ”loving mother” and had such a ”wonderful relationship” with her children, at least that is the [with all respect] nonsense I sometimes read on Google.
AND DON’T MAKE MISTAKE:
I am NOT saying that she didn’t LOVE her children, because she did.
But especially with Anthony, she had a difficult and strained relationship.
Read all about that under Note 2
That only worsened when he fell deeply in love with opera singer Siena Rosso [3]
From that moment on,  her already existing emotional neglect of him [4] [not completely her fault, admitted, due to her long mourning for her beloved husband Edmund, what no one will blame her] became worse.
She dehumanized his beloved Siena Rosso [5]  , continually depicting her as a ”scandal”, acted as if their love was something sordid you have to be ashamed
 for [6] , gave him a guilty feeling by constantly reminding him of his dead father [7] or simply denied her existence [8]
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT DOES TO A SON, WHO IS IN LOVE, WHEN HIS MOTHER CONTINUALLY DEHUMANIZES HIS LOVE?
I will tell you [but you’il probably understand]
FEELINGS OF INNER RAGE
I quote AI
”A continual barrage of insults aimed at his partner sparks a quiet but corrosive inner rage. He feels manipulated by the very mother to whom he is expected to show unwavering reverence. This internalized anger, trapped by the strictures of polite society and filial piety, manifests as emotional volatility, silent brooding, or sudden, uncharacteristic bursts of passion or defensiveness. [9]
But there is more
Astrid Essed asked the AI, if a son, whose loved one is continually insulted by his mother [I revealed the circumstances of Violet and Anthony being nobles in Regency Era] will resent his mother.
I got the answer you and I already could k now
YES
I quote
”Will He Resent His Mother?
Yes, he is highly likely to develop profound resentment toward his mother. Because the son sees his partner as worthy of love and respect, his mother’s relentless cruelty often feels like an emotional betrayal.”
[10]
WELL FOLKS, THAT IS CLEAR LANGUAGE!
And eventually Lady Violent paid the price for it.
We may be sorry for her, but it was the price she paid for her own behaviour, especially since she never corrected it or held herself accountable.
AND MAKE NO MISTAKE!
I really understand Violet’s  objections against the Love Relationship  of her son Anthony and opera singer Siena Rosso due to her understandable and real fear of the social death [11], BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE FOR THE MEAN, NASTY AND DEHUMANIZING WAY SHE HANDLED IT!
For apparently it didn’t sink in to her  that, by expressing herself this way about the woman he loved, she was not only deeply dehumanizing Siena Rosso, but also striking at the very core of her son’s well being.
But eventually, she paid the price for it……
For even after his marriage and happiness with Kate Sharma [12], Anthony not only continued to keep a safe distance [he moved to the countryside] [13],  he continued to harbor resentment for the dehumanizing way his mother, Lady Violent, had handled his romantic relationship with Siena Rosso.” [14]
AND he would never forget, that when he was heartbroken from the Break up with Siena, only his best friend and now brother in law Simon Basset  [15] comforted him in an affectionately way [16]
Only the Facade of Duty and Cool Politeness remained……
For like I said:
Having reasonable objections due to fear for te social death [17] is One Thing.
Dehumanizing the woman your son loves is unforgivable. [18]
SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOLKS!

AI OVERVIEW
AI OVERVIEW
Confrontation in the Study (Episode 1)
One of the most powerful confrontations takes place in the family study. Violet reminds Anthony of his responsibilities as the head of the household and addresses his double life:
The confrontation: Violet asks Anthony point-blank whether, upon leaving the room, he will return to his own home or visit “a certain soprano across town.”
Violet’s message: She states that he is neglecting his duties. She also says that he relies on his younger brothers to ultimately do the work that he “cannot do” (securing an heir and upholding the family name). She ends with the devastating question of whether he is merely an older brother, or truly the “man of the house.”

VIOLET’S EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
VIOLET’S EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL
  • The Comparison with Edmund: Bringing up his late father—”Your father would never…”—exploits Anthony’s greatest trauma. It is an emotional ultimatum that deploys Edmund’s memory to force Anthony into compliance.
This scene from Bridgerton [SEE THE LINK ABOVE] hits hard because it perfectly utilizes Lady Violet’s maternal authority to break through Anthony’s defense mechanisms. Her criticism devalues his love for “the opera singer,” while simultaneously weaponizing his deepest emotional wound: the loss of his father.
The Three Layers of Pain
  • The Dehumanization: By referring to her merely as “a certain soprano” instead of by her name (Siena Rosso), Violet strips her of her humanity. This deliberate insult turns the woman Anthony loves into an anonymous scandal.
  • The Comparison with Edmund: Bringing up his late father—”Your father would never…”—exploits Anthony’s greatest trauma. It is an emotional ultimatum that deploys Edmund’s memory to force Anthony into compliance.
  • The Financial Dig: Emphasizing the fact that Anthony pays for the apartment frames their relationship as purely transactional. This ignores the emotional reality of their bond, which viewers knew he was willing to give up his title and life for.

ANTHONY’S REACTION ON VIOLET’S DEHUMANIZATION OF SIENA [”A CERTAIN SOPRANO”]
ANTHONY’S REACTION TO VIOLET’S DEHUMANISATION
ANTHONY’S REACTION
During that specific, chilling confrontation in his study in Season 1, Anthony deflects by putting on an iron mask of indifference. When Lady Violet launches her devastating attack, he refuses to give her the emotional reaction she is craving.
How Anthony Deflects
  • Physical absorption: Anthony does not react verbally. He tenses physically and squares his shoulders tightly to absorb the blow of her words.
  • The icy glare: Instead of exploding, he locks eyes with her, staring coldly and rigidly. It is a look of wounded pride.
  • The feigned indifference: He attempts to fake total unconcern, as if her remark about the “certain soprano” means absolutely nothing to him.

AI OVERVIEW
EVEN MEANER/VIOLET’S SILENCING OF SIENA
Violet’s disparaging attitude is destructive precisely because she rarely lashes out explicitly. She uses passive aggression and manipulative silences to brand Siena as an invisible yet unmistakable ‘sinful distraction’ and a danger to the family.
Here are three specific examples from Season 1, outlined and analyzed to demonstrate how Violet systematically undermines Siena’s dignity:
1. The strategic absence of her name (The tactic of silencing)
In all the scenes where Violet confronts Anthony about his extramarital escapades, she consistently refuses to utter the name ‘Siena.’
  • The dynamics: By not calling her by her name, Violet refuses to recognize Siena as a flesh-and-blood human being. In Violet’s eyes, Siena is not a woman with feelings, but an abstract ‘problem’ or a ‘sin’ that needs to be resolved.
  • The effect: This is one of the most disparaging forms of exclusion. Violet thereby reduces Siena to a nameless temptation, a temporary illness Anthony must recover from in order to take his duties as Viscount seriously again.
2. The compulsive invocation of Edmund’s legacy (Guilt as a weapon)
Whenever Anthony leaves the ballroom or arrives late for Daphne’s presentation, Violet directly intertwines her reprimands with the memory of his deceased father, Edmund.
  • The dynamics: Violet never says directly, “You are with that inferior opera singer.” Instead, with a cold, disappointed look, she says, “Your father should see how you neglect your duties,” or “If you want people to listen to you as Lord Bridgerton, you will have to behave accordingly.”
  • The effect: Through this, Violet directly links Siena to Anthony’s moral failure. Without uttering Siena’s name, she turns Siena into the embodiment of Anthony’s guilt. Siena is framed as the obstacle preventing Anthony from becoming his father’s worthy successor.
3. The contrasting praise of ‘respectable’ women (The subtle comparison)
Throughout Season 1, Violet constantly pushes Anthony toward the ‘marriage mart’ and praises the virtues of young debutantes from high society.
  • The dynamics: During family breakfasts or moments when she reads Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, Violet speaks highly of the “purity,” “elegance,” and “honorability” of suitable marriage candidates. She does so while looking intently at Anthony.
  • The effect: This is a razor-sharp, implicit sneer at Siena. By hammering on what makes a woman ‘respectable’ and ‘virtuous,’ she outlines a perfect profile that Siena — as a working woman and an opera singer without noble status — can never match. She thus indirectly condemns Siena as an ‘unworthy and destructive’ sin.

Bridgerton/Siena Rosso, de Eerste en Diepe Liefde van Anthony Bridgerton/”A Certain Soprano”

SIENA ROSSO, DE EERSTE EN DIEPE LIEFDE VAN ANTHONY BRIDGERTON/”A CERTAIN SOPRANO”
Zij was gepassioneerd, liefdevol, moedig, trots en loyaal tot het Einde.
Maar ze kon niet meer zijn ”Speelbal” zijn [Engels, zoals Siena dat zei tegen Anthony ”she couldn’t be ”his fool again”]
Bitter en aangrijpend, maar ze beschermde zichzelf EN hem…..
 
En het wordt Hoog Tijd, dat iemand dit hardop uitspreekt en haar de Eer betoont, die zij meer dan verdient.
 
 
INLEIDING
[Onder de Noten maken jullie kennis met Siena]
 
 
HALLO FOLKS,
 
 
Deze Post is gewijd aan een Bridgerton Karakter, dat vaak over het hoofd wordt gezien of over wie gesproken wordt in relatie tot anderen, maar niet als een zelfstandig Individu.
 
En dat is verkeerd omdat het geen recht doet aan wie zij was, hoe men verder ook over haar denkt:
 
Zoals jullie al uit de Titel hadden kunnen afleiden, betreft het de opera zangeres Siena Rosso, die een langdurige Liefdesrelatie had 
[In Seizoen 1] met een van de hoofdpersonen uit de serie, Anthony Bridgerton, de oudste zoon en het Hoofd van de adellijke Familie Bridgerton [1A]
 
Hoewel de aard van hun relatie een tot nu toe voortdurende discussie is onder Fans en hoewel uiteraard iedereen vrij is in zijn mening daarover, denk ik, dat ik overtuigend heb aangetoond, dat er echte en diepe liefde tussen hen bestond [2A]
 
Het was een diepe en gepassioneerde Liefdesrelatie [3A]
 
En ik durf wel te zeggen, dat ondanks zijn latere geluk met Kate Sharma [4AAA] er in Anthony’s hart altijd een Plekje zou blijven voor Siena, vooral omdat hij zo hard voor haar had moeten vechten en zijn Liefde werd gedwarsboomd door de maatschappelijke barrieres  [4AA][ik wil hierin eerlijk zijn tegenover Lady Violet en haar niet van ALLES de schuld geven],, maar vooral ook door juist diegene, die hem onvoorwaardelijk zou moeten steunen:
Zijn moeder Violet, die hem het gevoel trachtte te geven [waarin zij overigens NIET slaagde], dat zijn Liefde voor Siena iets was waarvoor hij zich zou moeten schamen….[4A]
 
Zoals ik al schreef:
Ik wil eerlijk zijn tegenover Violet
Dus JA, haar sociale bezwaren waren begrijpelijk [5A], maar wat onvergeeflijk was was de manier waarop ze of Siena trachtte te dehumaniseren of, misschien NOG pijnlijker, haar probeerde dood te zwijgen. [6A]
 
Dit leidt tot een permanente kloof tussen haar en haar zoon Anthony, die zelfs niet werd overbrugd toen ze hem haar selectieve excuses in Seizoen 2 aanbood. [7A]
Daarover een andere keer.
 
 
TERUG NAAR SIENA
DIT IS HET MOMENT EN DE TIJD, DAT WIJ SIENA TERUGGEVEN, WAT ZIJ TEN VOLLE VERDIENT:
HAAR MENSELIJKHEID EN HAAR WAARDIGHEID.
 
OM NIET GEZIEN TE WORDEN ALS EEN ”SCHANDAAL”, EEN BRON VAN ”LUST” [8A], OF CORRECTER, VAN LIEFDE [8AA], MAAR ALS
EEN STERKE, ONAFHANKELIJKE VROUW, DIE OP RAUWE, MAAR DIEPE WIJZE LIEFHAD, MAAR EEN HARTVERSCHEURENDE KEUZE MOEST MAKEN DOOR DE HYPOCRISIE VAN DE ”TON” [8AAA] EN DE TEN ONRECHTE ALS PLEITBEZORGER VAN ”LIEFDE” AANGEMERKTE LADY VIOLET, DIE MET HAAR ONGETWIJFELD ”BESTE INTENTIES” EEN HARDE SLAG TOEBRACHT [AL WAS DAT NIET MET OPZET] AAN DE ZIEL VAN HAAR ZOON…….[9A]
 
 
MAAK ONDER DEZE NOTEN KENNIS MET SIENA ROSSO……
 
 
ASTRID ESSED
 
 
NOTEN
 
NOTEN 1A T/M 9A
 
 
 
SIENA ROSSO
 
Wat zo opvallend is in de Bridgerton Serie is, dat Siena er ”plotseling is”, zonder enige verwijzing naar haar achtergrond, waar ze vandaan kwam, of ze Familie had, wat haar hoop en dromen in het Leven waren.
Haar hele achtergrond is als het ware ”In Nevelen gehuld”
En zoals ze kwam, verdween ze ook weer.
Alsof ze in Rook opging……
 
EN DENK ERAAN FOLKS, SIENA HAD  AL EEN SUCCESVOLLE CARRIERE VOORDAT ZE ANTHONY BRIDGERTON ONTMOETTE EN DAT MAAKTE HAAR TOT EEN STERKE VROUW, ”HER OWN WOMAN”, DIE KON LIEFHEBBEN EN DE LIEFDE VERWERPEN……
Terwijl er Fans al klaarstaan met hun mening over Siena Rosso en discussieren over de Vraag of er echte liefde tussen haar en Anthony Bridgerton was of ”slechts lust en escapisme” [1], weigeren zij haar te zien als de vrouw die zij in werkelijkheid was.
Een Liefhebbende, Sterke en Onafhankelijke Vrouw in een moeilijke en hachelijke situatie.
DE HACHELIJKE SITUATIE VAN OPERA ZANGERESSEN/FINANCIELE ZEKERHEID
Om dieper te duiken in Siena’s Wereld [die van de Opera] moet men er zich rekenschap van geven, dat naast alle romantiek en sensatie in de Bridgerton series [2] [wat een belangrijk deel van haar Wereld was, vooral haar Liefdesrelatie met Anthony Bridgerton [3], de positie van operazangeressen in de Regency Tijd, gecompliceerd, hachelijk en soms gevaarlijk was.
En terecht werd Siena’s situatie als volgt beschreven door een commentator:
””While the women of the Bridgerton family live protected lives inside a bubble of wealth and balls, Siena literally has to sing for her supper.”
[Vertaald in het Nederlands:
””Terwijl de vrouwen van de familie Bridgerton een beschermd leven leiden binnen een bubbel van rijkdom en bals, moet Siena letterlijk zingen voor haar brood.” [1, 2, 3]]
En dat was direct het grote verschil tussen Siena en de verwende Ton Meisjes [4]
Terwijl de ”Ton Girls” dagelijks niet veel meer deden dan borduren, aan liefdadigheid doen en Balls bezoeken, moest Siena werken voor haar geld, vroeg opstaan en was zij volledig afhankelijk van haar stem.
MAAR DAT WAS NOG NIET ALLES….
Om een positie te krijgen en in de gelegenheid te zijn om een carriere op te bouwen, waren operazangeressen afhankelijk van rijke mannen, meestal aristocraten, voor financiele ondersteuning en het aanwenden van hun invloed. [5]
SEXUELE BELAGERS
In de Regency Tijd was de Samenleving extreem gesexualiseerd.
Mannen hadden praktisch alle rechten op sexueel gebied.
Een sexuele affaire van een man behorend tot de Ton [een aristocraat dus] [5B]
werd als normaal beschouwd, terwijl als het aan het licht kwam, dat een vrouw sexueel intiem geweest was, zij compleet geruineerd was [6]
Mannen hadden ”alle rechten” en namen ze dan ook.
En uiteraard had dat zijn weerslag op de Opera Wereld.
Vrouwen [hier dus operazangeressen] werden beschouwd als een soort
legitieme ”sexuele prooi”, die benaderd konden worden door iedere ”gentleman” die er behoefte aan had backstage te gaan, zoals sommigen ook deden. [7]
Dus als je als vrouw een ”rijke beschermer” had, voorkwam dat, dat je door iedere ”gentleman” die er zin in had, backstage te gaan, zomaar werd lastiggevallen. [8]
Maar nog los van de ”rijke beschermer” moesten deze vrouwen fel en rauw zijn en fysiek kunnen vechten, want ze konden in een situatie komen, dat ze zich moesten verdedigen tegen een grijpgrage en handtastelijke ”gentleman” als
hun rijke beschermheer niet aanwezig was……
Van die felle overlevingsdrang kun je een glimp zien aan de sexscenes tussen Anthony en Siena, niet alleen door het felle en gepassioneerde magnetisme tussen hen:
Ook zie je de rauwe en felle overlevingsdrang van Siena, voortkomend uit haar noodzaak sterk te moeten zijn om zichzelf te verdedigen.
Je ziet hoe ze Anthony intens en bepaald niet zachtzinnig vastgrijpt, hem soms letterlijk tegen een muur smijt, zijn kleren  van zijn lijf scheurt hem heftig omhelst alsof het de laatste keer is, uit pure wanhoop, omdat zij nooit weten wanneer ze elkaar weer zien en hoe lang ze samen kunnen zijn, vanwege de incriminatie van hun relatie door Lady Violet en de Samenleving [9], maar ook door haar rauwe overlevingsinstinct. [10]
Je kunt je hen rollend en vechtend over de grond voorstellen….[11]
Om terug te komen op die financiele zekerheid:
Niet alleen werd van Operazangeressen verwacht, dat zij zelf betaalden voor hun extravagante podium kostuums, prive vervoer, beveiliging en zanglessen, er werd ook nog eens van hen verwacht, dat zij voor hun status in mondaine wijken woonden.
EN DAARBIJ KWAM NOG, DAT ER EEN OPERASEIZOEN WAS, WAT BETEKENDE DAT JE BUITEN DAT SEIZOEN GEEN WERK HAD EN DUS GEEN INKOMEN……
ZIE DAN MAAR EENS TE OVERLEVEN ZONDER EEN RIJKE BESCHERMHEER….[12].
ANTHONY/EED AAN BENEDICT
”IF I DIE YOU MUST ENSURE SHE IS PROVIDED FOR”
[ALS IK STERF, MOET JE MIJ VERZEKEREN, DAT JE VOOR HAAR ZAL ZORGEN/ANTHONY TEGEN ZIJN BROER BENEDICT VLAK VOOR HET DUEL MET SIMON BASSET]
DAT was de reden dat Anthony zo extreem bezorgd over Siena was aan de vooravond van het Duel met Simon Basset om de Eer van Anthony’s zuster Daphne [13]
Want hij wist dat als hij zou omkomen in dat duel, dat  Siena, zonder zijn bescherming, niet alleen verstoken zou zijn van een inkomen, maar -wat bijna NOG erger was, want ze had gelukkig een vriendin bij wie ze wel tijdelijk terecht kon- [14] ze zou kunnen verworden tot een sexuele prooi……[15]
En vanwege zijn diepe liefde voor haar trok hij, net voordat het duel begon, zijn broer en secondant [bij het duel] Benedict opzij en liet hem een Eed zweren, dat hij financieel voor Siena zou zorgen, als hij zou omkomen. [16]
En dat FOLKS is wel het Krachtigste Bewijs van Anthony’s Liefde voor Siena.
Want aan wie denk je op het moment, dat je denkt te gaan sterven?
JUIST, degene die je het dierbaarst is!
Zijn laatste Gedachten waren voor Siena en haar welzijn……[17]
Als het alleen ”lust” geweest was, zou het hem niks hebben kunnen schelen.
Dit waren dus de dubbele standaarden, die golden voor Operazangeressen in de Regency Tijd.
Aan de ene kant werden zij door de Elite toegejuicht en ”aanbeden” vanwege hun talenten en door de aristocraten geeerd met gunsten en overladen met bloemen en juwelen, maar de Keerzijde was dat zij niet als gelijken werden gezien, hen de toegang [tenzij ingehuurd om te zingen] tot de Huizen van de Ton werd ontzegd vanwege hun ”immorele manier van leven”, zonder er ook maar rekening mee te houden, dat zij niet konden overleven zonder rijke beschermheren [18]
Maar dat is EEN ding:
Opera zangeressen werden best getolereerd als ”maitresses”[19], maar zodra er diepere gevoelens bij kwamen kijken en er sprake was van echte liefde, zoals bij Anthony en Siena [20] was het vrijwel onmogelijk om samen te zijn om over een huwelijk nog maar te zwijgen.
Dat was echt een No Go Area….[21]
De Maatschappelijke Uitsluiting ging zover, dat samenzijn in het openbaar, uit eten in een reastaurant en zelfs een wandeling maken in Kew Gardens niet mogelijk was! [22]
Anthony, die oprecht en diep van Siena hield, wilde breken met die wrede regels en de Ton dwingen Siena als gelijke en als zijn geliefde [en latere vrouw] te accepteren door haar mee te nemen naar het Ton Bal van zijn zuster Daphne, nu Hertogin van Hastings [ze was uiteindelijk getrouwd met de man van wie ze diep hield, Anthony’s beste vriend Simon Basset, van het duel, weet u nog] [23]
Hij dacht dat zijn eigen machtige positie als Burggraaf en de positie van zijn zuster als Hertogin sterk genoeg zouden zijn voor de acceptatie van Siena [24]
Omdat Siena weigerde, wat leidde tot de diep emotionele en hartverscheurende Breuk tussen haar en Anthony [25], weten we niet, wat er gebeurd zou zijn, als ze wel was meegegaan naar dat Bal, maar in de meeste gevallen zou het geleid hebben tot een groot sociaal schandaal, met mogelijke sociale uitsluiting van de aristocraat en ernstige sociale implicaties voor de operazangeres [26]
Ze konden zelfs bij de deur gestopt zijn en de toegang zijn ontzegd [27], wat in dit geval hoogst onwaarschijnlijk zou zijn geweest, omdat Anthony’s zuster Daphne het Bal had georganiseerd in haar Huis.
Maar hoe dan ook, zoals reeds gezegd, zou het sociale Schandaal  niet mals zijn [28]
De harde en meedogenloze houding van Anthony’s moeder Lady Violet tegen Siena en by proxy haar eigen zoon over hun Liefdesrelatie [29] is een exacte weerspiegeling van ……”.waar we
niet over ons heen zouden krijgen dat onze relatie schandelijk zou zijn en iets
om je voor te schamen, zoals in deze samenleving is….”, om Anthony’s eigen woorden te citeren [30], wat Violet natuurlijk niet ontslaat van
de verantwoordelijkheid voor haar kille meedogenloosheid, wat heeft geleid tot een permanente kloof tussen haar en haar zoon [31], ook na haar selectieve excuses in Seizoen 2 [32]
SIENA ALS EEN STERKE VROUW
Waar Lady Violet Siena af probeert te doen als een ”schandaal” of een Regency Era ”golddigger” [33] is het tegendeel waar!
In de Bridgerton serie maakt Anthony de relatie soms uit, maar ook Siena, die het zat is, dat zij steeds ”in the dark” gehouden wordt vanwege de felle afkeuring van Violet en de Ton van operazangeressen [34]
MAAR ALS WE ALLES OP EEN RIJTJE ZETTEN, IS HET ANTHONY, DIE, ONDANKS DE FELLE AFKEURING VAN LADY VIOLENT [35], IEDERE KEER NAAR SIENA TERUGKEERT.
Zie zelf de weerstand van Siena om hem terug te nemen, als Anthony haar bezoekt aan de vooravond van het duel met Simon Basset [36], om hem vervolgens gepassioneerd en hardhandig vast te pakken en haar huis in te trekken, bang om hem te verliezen [37], wanneer hij haar vertelt over het duel en hun mogelijke toekomst samen [38]
En hoewel hij diep van haar houdt, realiseert hij zich, vanwege zijn adellijke privileges, niet altijd de financiele impact voor Siena.
Dus wanneer er weer een Tijdelijke Breuk tussen hen is [het is een stormachtige aan/uit relatie door de Ton Druk en hun eigen gepassioneerde karakters , want Siena is een felle, gepassioneerde vrouw [39] en Anthony is ook de makkelijkste niet!] en Anthony niet betaalt voor haar levensonderhoud, zich niet realiserend, dat  zij dan  letterlijk op straat staat, wordt zij gelukkig opgevangen door haar vriendin Genevieve Delacroix, die als modiste werkt voor de Ton [40]
Bij haar kan ze dan even op adem komen [41] totdat de storm is gaan liggen en zij en Anthony zich weer verzoend hebben.
Voor een vrouw in de positie van Siena is zitten zonder behoorlijk inkomen dit een gevaarlijke en hachelijke situatie en hoe diep ze ook van Anthony houdt, ze is dan gedwongen op zoek te gaan naar een andere Beschermer, puur uit noodzaak om te overleven.
HERWONNEN LIEFDE/SCENE TIJDENS DE BOXWEDSTRIJD
En dat gebeurt dan ook.
Ze vindt een andere ”beschermer” [a draper/Nederlandse vertaling: een lakenhandelaar], maar als ze met hem naar een boxwedstrijd gaat, is Anthony daar ook in het publiek.
Om precies te zijn:
Hij zit boven, met zijn broers Benedict en Colin, zij zit beneden met haar ”beschermer”
Aanvankelijk moedigen Anthony en zijn broers de boxers enhousiast aan, net zoals de rest van het pubiek, totdat Anthony Siena plotseling ziet.
Vanaf dat moment begint hij intens en obsessief naar Siena te staren [in de bewuste scene verandert de muziek naar bijna dreigend] [42] en heeft alleen maar oog voor haar.
Als zij hem ziet [je voelt vaak dat iemand naar je kijkt] lijkt het wel alsof er een electrisch magnetisme tussen hen is.
Hij eist haar bijna op:
Intens en allesoverheersend.
En in de volgende scene zie je hoe ze elkaar gepassioneerd omhelzen onder het Boxplatform, waarbij, karakteristiek voor de vurigheid van Siena [43], zij zijn hemd begint open te trekken.
Kijk naar de Scene [44]
De meeste Fans vinden die scene alleen maar spannend en opwindend en hoewel dat natuurlijk zo is, gaat er ook een diepe hartstocht en wanhoop schuil, omdat op zij elkaar alleen maar kunnen ontmoeten op zulke plekken als een stoffig en vuil Boxplatform, want openbare gelegenheden zijn voor een aristocraat en een operazangeres taboe [45]
ZO WAS  HUN RELATIE
Zij waren fel, gepassioneerd en vochten met elkaar, fysiek en verbaal, hadden heftige breuken en even heftige verzoeningen, maar werden steeds weer als magneten tot elkaar aangetrokken.
WAT ZIJ WAS VOOR ANTHONY
Voor een hele lange Tijd was zij het Haardvuur waaraan Anthony zich warmde tegen de koude muren van Aubrey Hall en tegen een moeder, die
hem emotioneel verwaarloosde [46] ondanks haar wel degelijk grote liefde voor hem.
Met Siena kon hij even zichzelf zijn, een man van wie warm en hartstochtelijk werd gehouden, geen ”Instituut”, een Burggraaf met eeuwige Verplichtingen, zoals de Ton en zijn moeder Violet [ondanks haar liefde] hem zagen [47]
HAAR MEEST HARTVERSCHEURENDE BESLISSING/HET LOSRUKKEN VAN HUN LIEFDESBAND
Dit is door een commentator gezegd over hun pijnlijke Breuk:
””The breakup at the end of Season 1 is often perceived as a defeat, but it is actually Siena’s most powerful moment. She is the one who realizes that Anthony can never truly protect her from societal exclusion.” [48]
[Vertaald in het Nederlands
”De breuk aan het einde van Seizoen 1 wordt vaak gezien als een nederlaag, maar het is juist Siena’s meest krachtige moment. Zij is degene die inziet dat Anthony haar nooit écht kan beschermen tegen maatschappelijke uitsluiting.”
 [48B]
Ik denk dat dat waar is:
ONDANKS ALLE SOCIALE WEERSTAND TEGEN HUN RELATIE [49]
WIL ANTHONY NOG STEEDS VOOR HUN LIEFDE VECHTEN.
En hij denkt dat hij als machtige Viscount [Burggraaf], vooral nu zijn zuster Daphne  [die tooth en nail heeft gevochten voor haar grote liefde Simon Basset, maar toegestaan omdat het binnen hun stand paste] [50] Hertogin is, de Ton kan dwingen om Siena te accepteren [51]
Dus ging hij naar haar toe, met geurende bloemen en Hoop in zijn Hart, maar…zij was daar met een andere man en schreeuwde bijna tegen hem, dat hij haar moest laten gaan…….[52]
Waarna hij volledig instortte, ”tranen met tuiten” huilde in zijn
studeerkamer, haar programmaboekje verbrandde en werd getroost door zijn beste vriend en nu zwager Simon Basset……[53]
Maar voor haar was het niet MINDER hard, de man van wie zij hield, te moeten opgeven vanwege de sociale uitsluiting en zijn moeders dehumanisering, het feit, dat zij hoe dan ook nooit ECHT in zijn Ton zou zijn geaccepteerd, hoe hard Anthony ook geprobeerd zou hebben, haar te verdedigen [54]
NEEN, NIET DUS UIT GEBREK AAN LIEFDE, MAAR JUIST VANWEGE HAAR GROTE LIEFDE ZAG ZIJ IN WAT HIJ NIET WILDE INZIEN:
Dat zelfs ALS zijn zuster Daphne hem zou steunen, de Ton hem zou uitsluiten , als hij met Siena op dat Bal was verschenen [55]
Maar hoe DAT ook was afgelopen:
Ze zouden  beleefd zijn tegen Siena als Anthony [of Smon en Daphne] in de buurt waren en als zij hun hielen hadden gelicht,  haar op allerlei subtiele of minder subtiele manieren uitsluiten, zoals zij Anthony zelf had geprobeerd duidelijk te maken [56]
Het was hartverscheurend voor hem en haar en hij zou het litteken altijd met zich mee blijven dragen [57], want een diepe, gepassioneerde Eerste Liefde, die zelfs met de Dood  voor ogen nog als een lichtflits in de Schemering voor je ogen stond[58], vergeet je niet, hoe gelukkig je later ook wordt. [59]
En Siena ook
Hartverscheurend was het voor hen beiden en haar laatste woorden naar hem gaan je door Merg en Been:
“I am looking out for myself. I am ensuring my own future. Because I know – in my heart – I know that there is no one else who ever will.”
(Ik zorg voor mezelf. Ik stel mijn eigen toekomst veilig. Omdat ik weet – in mijn hart – dat er nooit iemand anders zal zijn die dat doet.)
 
Hij staat erbij met tranen in zijn ogen en smeekt
”Siena”……..
 
En dan de laatste, hartbrekende woorden
 
  “You need to let me go, Anthony.” [60]
JUIST OMDAT ZIJ WEET DAT DAT HET LAATSTE IS DAT HIJ WIL DOEN……..
VOOR deze hartverscheurende scene had ze al gezegd, dat zij altijd de vrouw zou zijn van wie hij ”in the dark” zou houden/Niet ”in the Light”…..[61]
SIENA ALS EEN STERKE, GEPASSIONEERDE EN VURIGE VROUW
 
Ondanks haar Immense Pijn en Liefdesverdriet heeft Siena NIET verloren
Het was GEEN nederlaag.
 
Haar Grote Liefde
JA
 
Maar NIET haar Waardigheid.
Ze hield vurig en hartstochtelijk van Anthony, maar ze had ook de Kracht om realistisch te blijven in een desperate sitZe moest haar Sociale Bescherming op de eerste plaats stellen en haar financiele zekerheid zeker stellen, sinds de Ton hun relatie ”In the Light” nooit zou accepteren.
Want DAT was het Dilemma.
 
Anthony hield diep en hartstochtelijk van haar, maar hij wilde zijn
positie als Viscount [Burggraaf] combineren met zijn liefde voor haar.
En JA, hij was bereid met haar te vluchten, zoals hij haar [opgewonden] vertelde bij zijn bezoek aan haar aan de vooravond van het Duel, als hij zijn beste vriend Simon in het Duel gedood had en het land moest ontvluchten [62]
Maar in Engeland blijven zou betekenen, dat hun Liefde ”in the Dark” zou blijven en zij wilde zo graag zijn vrouw ”In the Light” zijn -wat ze ook verdiende-en op een gegeven moment begreep ze, dat dat niet zou gebeuren, ondanks hun diepe en hartstochtelijke Liefde voor elkaar.
Dus het was niet uit harteloosheid dat zij hun relatie beeindigde, zoals een deel van de Bridgerton Fans beweert, maar juist uit liefde, Moed en Zelfbescherming.
 
Ze moest wel doorgaan met een man, die haar in het Licht kon brengen, terwijl ze zo wanhopig graag bij haar Geliefde had willen blijven.
 
Was hun Liefde doorgegaan, dan had dat ”in the Dark” gemoeten en als het toch ”In the Light” was gebracht [stel dat Benedict de Zaak was gaan runnen…….], dan had Anthony iedere dag moeten duelleren voor de beledigingen, zijn vrouw aangedaan.
 
MAAR LATEN WE NU HELEMAAL EERLIJK ZIJN
 
Want hoe destructief Violet’s rol ook was [63], hierin had Anthony ook zijn eigen verantwoordelijkheid.
WANT:
When all things are said and done [uiteindelijk] [64] had Anthony, hoeveel hij ook van Siena hield, niet de moed om het tegen zijn moeder op te nemen, om, wat de consequenties ook waren en hoe groot ook haar druk en emotionele chantage [65], alles achter zich te laten en te vluchten met Siena.
 
Dus gaf hij ”Lady Violent” de macht om zijn Leven en Liefde te verwoesten.
 
Ik denk dat Siena dat op het laatst begreep.
 
Zij had de moed om die hartverscheurende beslissing te nemen om hun Liefdesrelatie te beeindigen.
 
Dat was HAAR Kracht.
 
Zij was gepassioneerd, moedig, liefhebbend en loyaal tot het Einde [66]
Maar zij couldn’t be his fool again [zij kon zijn ”dwaze speeltje” niet meer zijn] [67]
Hartverscheurend, maar ze beschermde hem en zichzelf.
 
EN HET IS HOOG TIJD VOOR IEMAND OM DIT LUID EN DUIDELIJK UIT TE SPREKEN EN HAAR EINDELIJK DE EER TE GEVEN, DIE ZIJ MEER DAN VERDIENT

Siena Rosso, de Eerste en Diepe Liefde van Anthony Bridgerton/”A Certain Soprano”

SIENA ROSSO, DE EERSTE EN DIEPE LIEFDE VAN ANTHONY BRIDGERTON/”A CERTAIN SOPRANO”
Zij was gepassioneerd, liefdevol, moedig, trots en loyaal tot het Einde.
Maar ze kon niet meer zijn ”Speelbal” zijn [Engels, zoals Siena dat zei tegen Anthony ”she couldn’t be ”his fool again”]
Bitter en aangrijpend, maar ze beschermde zichzelf EN hem…..
 
En het wordt Hoog Tijd, dat iemand dit hardop uitspreekt en haar de Eer betoont, die zij meer dan verdient.
 
 
INLEIDING
[Onder de Noten maken jullie kennis met Siena]
 
 
HALLO FOLKS,
 
 
Deze Post is gewijd aan een Bridgerton Karakter, dat vaak over het hoofd wordt gezien of over wie gesproken wordt in relatie tot anderen, maar niet als een zelfstandig Individu.
 
En dat is verkeerd omdat het geen recht doet aan wie zij was, hoe men verder ook over haar denkt:
 
Zoals jullie al uit de Titel hadden kunnen afleiden, betreft het de opera zangeres Siena Rosso, die een langdurige Liefdesrelatie had 
[In Seizoen 1] met een van de hoofdpersonen uit de serie, Anthony Bridgerton, de oudste zoon en het Hoofd van de adellijke Familie Bridgerton [1A]
 
Hoewel de aard van hun relatie een tot nu toe voortdurende discussie is onder Fans en hoewel uiteraard iedereen vrij is in zijn mening daarover, denk ik, dat ik overtuigend heb aangetoond, dat er echte en diepe liefde tussen hen bestond [2A]
 
Het was een diepe en gepassioneerde Liefdesrelatie [3A]
 
En ik durf wel te zeggen, dat ondanks zijn latere geluk met Kate Sharma [4AAA] er in Anthony’s hart altijd een Plekje zou blijven voor Siena, vooral omdat hij zo hard voor haar had moeten vechten en zijn Liefde werd gedwarsboomd door de maatschappelijke barrieres  [4AA][ik wil hierin eerlijk zijn tegenover Lady Violet en haar niet van ALLES de schuld geven],, maar vooral ook door juist diegene, die hem onvoorwaardelijk zou moeten steunen:
Zijn moeder Violet, die hem het gevoel trachtte te geven [waarin zij overigens NIET slaagde], dat zijn Liefde voor Siena iets was waarvoor hij zich zou moeten schamen….[4A]
 
Zoals ik al schreef:
Ik wil eerlijk zijn tegenover Violet
Dus JA, haar sociale bezwaren waren begrijpelijk [5A], maar wat onvergeeflijk was was de manier waarop ze of Siena trachtte te dehumaniseren of, misschien NOG pijnlijker, haar probeerde dood te zwijgen. [6A]
 
Dit leidt tot een permanente kloof tussen haar en haar zoon Anthony, die zelfs niet werd overbrugd toen ze hem haar selectieve excuses in Seizoen 2 aanbood. [7A]
Daarover een andere keer.
 
 
TERUG NAAR SIENA
DIT IS HET MOMENT EN DE TIJD, DAT WIJ SIENA TERUGGEVEN, WAT ZIJ TEN VOLLE VERDIENT:
HAAR MENSELIJKHEID EN HAAR WAARDIGHEID.
 
OM NIET GEZIEN TE WORDEN ALS EEN ”SCHANDAAL”, EEN BRON VAN ”LUST” [8A], OF CORRECTER, VAN LIEFDE [8AA], MAAR ALS
EEN STERKE, ONAFHANKELIJKE VROUW, DIE OP RAUWE, MAAR DIEPE WIJZE LIEFHAD, MAAR EEN HARTVERSCHEURENDE KEUZE MOEST MAKEN DOOR DE HYPOCRISIE VAN DE ”TON” [8AAA] EN DE TEN ONRECHTE ALS PLEITBEZORGER VAN ”LIEFDE” AANGEMERKTE LADY VIOLET, DIE MET HAAR ONGETWIJFELD ”BESTE INTENTIES” EEN HARDE SLAG TOEBRACHT [AL WAS DAT NIET MET OPZET] AAN DE ZIEL VAN HAAR ZOON…….[9A]
 
 
MAAK ONDER DEZE NOTEN KENNIS MET SIENA ROSSO……
 
 
ASTRID ESSED
 
 
NOTEN
 
NOTEN 1A T/M 9A
 
 
 
SIENA ROSSO
 
Wat zo opvallend is in de Bridgerton Serie is, dat Siena er ”plotseling is”, zonder enige verwijzing naar haar achtergrond, waar ze vandaan kwam, of ze Familie had, wat haar hoop en dromen in het Leven waren.
Haar hele achtergrond is als het ware ”In Nevelen gehuld”
En zoals ze kwam, verdween ze ook weer.
Alsof ze in Rook opging……
 
EN DENK ERAAN FOLKS, SIENA HAD  AL EEN SUCCESVOLLE CARRIERE VOORDAT ZE ANTHONY BRIDGERTON ONTMOETTE EN DAT MAAKTE HAAR TOT EEN STERKE VROUW, ”HER OWN WOMAN”, DIE KON LIEFHEBBEN EN DE LIEFDE VERWERPEN……
Terwijl er Fans al klaarstaan met hun mening over Siena Rosso en discussieren over de Vraag of er echte liefde tussen haar en Anthony Bridgerton was of ”slechts lust en escapisme” [1], weigeren zij haar te zien als de vrouw die zij in werkelijkheid was.
Een Liefhebbende, Sterke en Onafhankelijke Vrouw in een moeilijke en hachelijke situatie.
DE HACHELIJKE SITUATIE VAN OPERA ZANGERESSEN/FINANCIELE ZEKERHEID
Om dieper te duiken in Siena’s Wereld [die van de Opera] moet men er zich rekenschap van geven, dat naast alle romantiek en sensatie in de Bridgerton series [2] [wat een belangrijk deel van haar Wereld was, vooral haar Liefdesrelatie met Anthony Bridgerton [3], de positie van operazangeressen in de Regency Tijd, gecompliceerd, hachelijk en soms gevaarlijk was.
En terecht werd Siena’s situatie als volgt beschreven door een commentator:
””While the women of the Bridgerton family live protected lives inside a bubble of wealth and balls, Siena literally has to sing for her supper.”
[Vertaald in het Nederlands:
””Terwijl de vrouwen van de familie Bridgerton een beschermd leven leiden binnen een bubbel van rijkdom en bals, moet Siena letterlijk zingen voor haar brood.” [1, 2, 3]]
En dat was direct het grote verschil tussen Siena en de verwende Ton Meisjes [4]
Terwijl de ”Ton Girls” dagelijks niet veel meer deden dan borduren, aan liefdadigheid doen en Balls bezoeken, moest Siena werken voor haar geld, vroeg opstaan en was zij volledig afhankelijk van haar stem.
MAAR DAT WAS NOG NIET ALLES….
Om een positie te krijgen en in de gelegenheid te zijn om een carriere op te bouwen, waren operazangeressen afhankelijk van rijke mannen, meestal aristocraten, voor financiele ondersteuning en het aanwenden van hun invloed. [5]
SEXUELE BELAGERS
In de Regency Tijd was de Samenleving extreem gesexualiseerd.
Mannen hadden praktisch alle rechten op sexueel gebied.
Een sexuele affaire van een man behorend tot de Ton [een aristocraat dus] [5B]
werd als normaal beschouwd, terwijl als het aan het licht kwam, dat een vrouw sexueel intiem geweest was, zij compleet geruineerd was [6]
Mannen hadden ”alle rechten” en namen ze dan ook.
En uiteraard had dat zijn weerslag op de Opera Wereld.
Vrouwen [hier dus operazangeressen] werden beschouwd als een soort
legitieme ”sexuele prooi”, die benaderd konden worden door iedere ”gentleman” die er behoefte aan had backstage te gaan, zoals sommigen ook deden. [7]
Dus als je als vrouw een ”rijke beschermer” had, voorkwam dat, dat je door iedere ”gentleman” die er zin in had, backstage te gaan, zomaar werd lastiggevallen. [8]
Maar nog los van de ”rijke beschermer” moesten deze vrouwen fel en rauw zijn en fysiek kunnen vechten, want ze konden in een situatie komen, dat ze zich moesten verdedigen tegen een grijpgrage en handtastelijke ”gentleman” als
hun rijke beschermheer niet aanwezig was……
Van die felle overlevingsdrang kun je een glimp zien aan de sexscenes tussen Anthony en Siena, niet alleen door het felle en gepassioneerde magnetisme tussen hen:
Ook zie je de rauwe en felle overlevingsdrang van Siena, voortkomend uit haar noodzaak sterk te moeten zijn om zichzelf te verdedigen.
Je ziet hoe ze Anthony intens en bepaald niet zachtzinnig vastgrijpt, hem soms letterlijk tegen een muur smijt, zijn kleren  van zijn lijf scheurt hem heftig omhelst alsof het de laatste keer is, uit pure wanhoop, omdat zij nooit weten wanneer ze elkaar weer zien en hoe lang ze samen kunnen zijn, vanwege de incriminatie van hun relatie door Lady Violet en de Samenleving [9], maar ook door haar rauwe overlevingsinstinct. [10]
Je kunt je hen rollend en vechtend over de grond voorstellen….[11]
Om terug te komen op die financiele zekerheid:
Niet alleen werd van Operazangeressen verwacht, dat zij zelf betaalden voor hun extravagante podium kostuums, prive vervoer, beveiliging en zanglessen, er werd ook nog eens van hen verwacht, dat zij voor hun status in mondaine wijken woonden.
EN DAARBIJ KWAM NOG, DAT ER EEN OPERASEIZOEN WAS, WAT BETEKENDE DAT JE BUITEN DAT SEIZOEN GEEN WERK HAD EN DUS GEEN INKOMEN……
ZIE DAN MAAR EENS TE OVERLEVEN ZONDER EEN RIJKE BESCHERMHEER….[12].
ANTHONY/EED AAN BENEDICT
”IF I DIE YOU MUST ENSURE SHE IS PROVIDED FOR”
[ALS IK STERF, MOET JE MIJ VERZEKEREN, DAT JE VOOR HAAR ZAL ZORGEN/ANTHONY TEGEN ZIJN BROER BENEDICT VLAK VOOR HET DUEL MET SIMON BASSET]
DAT was de reden dat Anthony zo extreem bezorgd over Siena was aan de vooravond van het Duel met Simon Basset om de Eer van Anthony’s zuster Daphne [13]
Want hij wist dat als hij zou omkomen in dat duel, dat  Siena, zonder zijn bescherming, niet alleen verstoken zou zijn van een inkomen, maar -wat bijna NOG erger was, want ze had gelukkig een vriendin bij wie ze wel tijdelijk terecht kon- [14] ze zou kunnen verworden tot een sexuele prooi……[15]
En vanwege zijn diepe liefde voor haar trok hij, net voordat het duel begon, zijn broer en secondant [bij het duel] Benedict opzij en liet hem een Eed zweren, dat hij financieel voor Siena zou zorgen, als hij zou omkomen. [16]
En dat FOLKS is wel het Krachtigste Bewijs van Anthony’s Liefde voor Siena.
Want aan wie denk je op het moment, dat je denkt te gaan sterven?
JUIST, degene die je het dierbaarst is!
Zijn laatste Gedachten waren voor Siena en haar welzijn……[17]
Als het alleen ”lust” geweest was, zou het hem niks hebben kunnen schelen.
Dit waren dus de dubbele standaarden, die golden voor Operazangeressen in de Regency Tijd.
Aan de ene kant werden zij door de Elite toegejuicht en ”aanbeden” vanwege hun talenten en door de aristocraten geeerd met gunsten en overladen met bloemen en juwelen, maar de Keerzijde was dat zij niet als gelijken werden gezien, hen de toegang [tenzij ingehuurd om te zingen] tot de Huizen van de Ton werd ontzegd vanwege hun ”immorele manier van leven”, zonder er ook maar rekening mee te houden, dat zij niet konden overleven zonder rijke beschermheren [18]
Maar dat is EEN ding:
Opera zangeressen werden best getolereerd als ”maitresses”[19], maar zodra er diepere gevoelens bij kwamen kijken en er sprake was van echte liefde, zoals bij Anthony en Siena [20] was het vrijwel onmogelijk om samen te zijn om over een huwelijk nog maar te zwijgen.
Dat was echt een No Go Area….[21]
De Maatschappelijke Uitsluiting ging zover, dat samenzijn in het openbaar, uit eten in een reastaurant en zelfs een wandeling maken in Kew Gardens niet mogelijk was! [22]
Anthony, die oprecht en diep van Siena hield, wilde breken met die wrede regels en de Ton dwingen Siena als gelijke en als zijn geliefde [en latere vrouw] te accepteren door haar mee te nemen naar het Ton Bal van zijn zuster Daphne, nu Hertogin van Hastings [ze was uiteindelijk getrouwd met de man van wie ze diep hield, Anthony’s beste vriend Simon Basset, van het duel, weet u nog] [23]
Hij dacht dat zijn eigen machtige positie als Burggraaf en de positie van zijn zuster als Hertogin sterk genoeg zouden zijn voor de acceptatie van Siena [24]
Omdat Siena weigerde, wat leidde tot de diep emotionele en hartverscheurende Breuk tussen haar en Anthony [25], weten we niet, wat er gebeurd zou zijn, als ze wel was meegegaan naar dat Bal, maar in de meeste gevallen zou het geleid hebben tot een groot sociaal schandaal, met mogelijke sociale uitsluiting van de aristocraat en ernstige sociale implicaties voor de operazangeres [26]
Ze konden zelfs bij de deur gestopt zijn en de toegang zijn ontzegd [27], wat in dit geval hoogst onwaarschijnlijk zou zijn geweest, omdat Anthony’s zuster Daphne het Bal had georganiseerd in haar Huis.
Maar hoe dan ook, zoals reeds gezegd, zou het sociale Schandaal  niet mals zijn [28]
De harde en meedogenloze houding van Anthony’s moeder Lady Violet tegen Siena en by proxy haar eigen zoon over hun Liefdesrelatie [29] is een exacte weerspiegeling van ……”.waar we
niet over ons heen zouden krijgen dat onze relatie schandelijk zou zijn en iets
om je voor te schamen, zoals in deze samenleving is….”, om Anthony’s eigen woorden te citeren [30], wat Violet natuurlijk niet ontslaat van
de verantwoordelijkheid voor haar kille meedogenloosheid, wat heeft geleid tot een permanente kloof tussen haar en haar zoon [31], ook na haar selectieve excuses in Seizoen 2 [32]
SIENA ALS EEN STERKE VROUW
Waar Lady Violet Siena af probeert te doen als een ”schandaal” of een Regency Era ”golddigger” [33] is het tegendeel waar!
In de Bridgerton serie maakt Anthony de relatie soms uit, maar ook Siena, die het zat is, dat zij steeds ”in the dark” gehouden wordt vanwege de felle afkeuring van Violet en de Ton van operazangeressen [34]
MAAR ALS WE ALLES OP EEN RIJTJE ZETTEN, IS HET ANTHONY, DIE, ONDANKS DE FELLE AFKEURING VAN LADY VIOLENT [35], IEDERE KEER NAAR SIENA TERUGKEERT.
Zie zelf de weerstand van Siena om hem terug te nemen, als Anthony haar bezoekt aan de vooravond van het duel met Simon Basset [36], om hem vervolgens gepassioneerd en hardhandig vast te pakken en haar huis in te trekken, bang om hem te verliezen [37], wanneer hij haar vertelt over het duel en hun mogelijke toekomst samen [38]
En hoewel hij diep van haar houdt, realiseert hij zich, vanwege zijn adellijke privileges, niet altijd de financiele impact voor Siena.
Dus wanneer er weer een Tijdelijke Breuk tussen hen is [het is een stormachtige aan/uit relatie door de Ton Druk en hun eigen gepassioneerde karakters , want Siena is een felle, gepassioneerde vrouw [39] en Anthony is ook de makkelijkste niet!] en Anthony niet betaalt voor haar levensonderhoud, zich niet realiserend, dat  zij dan  letterlijk op straat staat, wordt zij gelukkig opgevangen door haar vriendin Genevieve Delacroix, die als modiste werkt voor de Ton [40]
Bij haar kan ze dan even op adem komen [41] totdat de storm is gaan liggen en zij en Anthony zich weer verzoend hebben.
Voor een vrouw in de positie van Siena is zitten zonder behoorlijk inkomen dit een gevaarlijke en hachelijke situatie en hoe diep ze ook van Anthony houdt, ze is dan gedwongen op zoek te gaan naar een andere Beschermer, puur uit noodzaak om te overleven.
HERWONNEN LIEFDE/SCENE TIJDENS DE BOXWEDSTRIJD
En dat gebeurt dan ook.
Ze vindt een andere ”beschermer” [a draper/Nederlandse vertaling: een lakenhandelaar], maar als ze met hem naar een boxwedstrijd gaat, is Anthony daar ook in het publiek.
Om precies te zijn:
Hij zit boven, met zijn broers Benedict en Colin, zij zit beneden met haar ”beschermer”
Aanvankelijk moedigen Anthony en zijn broers de boxers enhousiast aan, net zoals de rest van het pubiek, totdat Anthony Siena plotseling ziet.
Vanaf dat moment begint hij intens en obsessief naar Siena te staren [in de bewuste scene verandert de muziek naar bijna dreigend] [42] en heeft alleen maar oog voor haar.
Als zij hem ziet [je voelt vaak dat iemand naar je kijkt] lijkt het wel alsof er een electrisch magnetisme tussen hen is.
Hij eist haar bijna op:
Intens en allesoverheersend.
En in de volgende scene zie je hoe ze elkaar gepassioneerd omhelzen onder het Boxplatform, waarbij, karakteristiek voor de vurigheid van Siena [43], zij zijn hemd begint open te trekken.
Kijk naar de Scene [44]
De meeste Fans vinden die scene alleen maar spannend en opwindend en hoewel dat natuurlijk zo is, gaat er ook een diepe hartstocht en wanhoop schuil, omdat op zij elkaar alleen maar kunnen ontmoeten op zulke plekken als een stoffig en vuil Boxplatform, want openbare gelegenheden zijn voor een aristocraat en een operazangeres taboe [45]
ZO WAS  HUN RELATIE
Zij waren fel, gepassioneerd en vochten met elkaar, fysiek en verbaal, hadden heftige breuken en even heftige verzoeningen, maar werden steeds weer als magneten tot elkaar aangetrokken.
WAT ZIJ WAS VOOR ANTHONY
Voor een hele lange Tijd was zij het Haardvuur waaraan Anthony zich warmde tegen de koude muren van Aubrey Hall en tegen een moeder, die
hem emotioneel verwaarloosde [46] ondanks haar wel degelijk grote liefde voor hem.
Met Siena kon hij even zichzelf zijn, een man van wie warm en hartstochtelijk werd gehouden, geen ”Instituut”, een Burggraaf met eeuwige Verplichtingen, zoals de Ton en zijn moeder Violet [ondanks haar liefde] hem zagen [47]
HAAR MEEST HARTVERSCHEURENDE BESLISSING/HET LOSRUKKEN VAN HUN LIEFDESBAND
Dit is door een commentator gezegd over hun pijnlijke Breuk:
””The breakup at the end of Season 1 is often perceived as a defeat, but it is actually Siena’s most powerful moment. She is the one who realizes that Anthony can never truly protect her from societal exclusion.” [48]
[Vertaald in het Nederlands
”De breuk aan het einde van Seizoen 1 wordt vaak gezien als een nederlaag, maar het is juist Siena’s meest krachtige moment. Zij is degene die inziet dat Anthony haar nooit écht kan beschermen tegen maatschappelijke uitsluiting.”
 [48B]
Ik denk dat dat waar is:
ONDANKS ALLE SOCIALE WEERSTAND TEGEN HUN RELATIE [49]
WIL ANTHONY NOG STEEDS VOOR HUN LIEFDE VECHTEN.
En hij denkt dat hij als machtige Viscount [Burggraaf], vooral nu zijn zuster Daphne  [die tooth en nail heeft gevochten voor haar grote liefde Simon Basset, maar toegestaan omdat het binnen hun stand paste] [50] Hertogin is, de Ton kan dwingen om Siena te accepteren [51]
Dus ging hij naar haar toe, met geurende bloemen en Hoop in zijn Hart, maar…zij was daar met een andere man en schreeuwde bijna tegen hem, dat hij haar moest laten gaan…….[52]
Waarna hij volledig instortte, ”tranen met tuiten” huilde in zijn
studeerkamer, haar programmaboekje verbrandde en werd getroost door zijn beste vriend en nu zwager Simon Basset……[53]
Maar voor haar was het niet MINDER hard, de man van wie zij hield, te moeten opgeven vanwege de sociale uitsluiting en zijn moeders dehumanisering, het feit, dat zij hoe dan ook nooit ECHT in zijn Ton zou zijn geaccepteerd, hoe hard Anthony ook geprobeerd zou hebben, haar te verdedigen [54]
NEEN, NIET DUS UIT GEBREK AAN LIEFDE, MAAR JUIST VANWEGE HAAR GROTE LIEFDE ZAG ZIJ IN WAT HIJ NIET WILDE INZIEN:
Dat zelfs ALS zijn zuster Daphne hem zou steunen, de Ton hem zou uitsluiten , als hij met Siena op dat Bal was verschenen [55]
Maar hoe DAT ook was afgelopen:
Ze zouden  beleefd zijn tegen Siena als Anthony [of Smon en Daphne] in de buurt waren en als zij hun hielen hadden gelicht,  haar op allerlei subtiele of minder subtiele manieren uitsluiten, zoals zij Anthony zelf had geprobeerd duidelijk te maken [56]
Het was hartverscheurend voor hem en haar en hij zou het litteken altijd met zich mee blijven dragen [57], want een diepe, gepassioneerde Eerste Liefde, die zelfs met de Dood  voor ogen nog als een lichtflits in de Schemering voor je ogen stond[58], vergeet je niet, hoe gelukkig je later ook wordt. [59]
En Siena ook
Hartverscheurend was het voor hen beiden en haar laatste woorden naar hem gaan je door Merg en Been:
“I am looking out for myself. I am ensuring my own future. Because I know – in my heart – I know that there is no one else who ever will.”
(Ik zorg voor mezelf. Ik stel mijn eigen toekomst veilig. Omdat ik weet – in mijn hart – dat er nooit iemand anders zal zijn die dat doet.)
 
Hij staat erbij met tranen in zijn ogen en smeekt
”Siena”……..
 
En dan de laatste, hartbrekende woorden
 
  “You need to let me go, Anthony.” [60]
JUIST OMDAT ZIJ WEET DAT DAT HET LAATSTE IS DAT HIJ WIL DOEN……..
VOOR deze hartverscheurende scene had ze al gezegd, dat zij altijd de vrouw zou zijn van wie hij ”in the dark” zou houden/Niet ”in the Light”…..[61]
SIENA ALS EEN STERKE, GEPASSIONEERDE EN VURIGE VROUW
 
Ondanks haar Immense Pijn en Liefdesverdriet heeft Siena NIET verloren
Het was GEEN nederlaag.
 
Haar Grote Liefde
JA
 
Maar NIET haar Waardigheid.
Ze hield vurig en hartstochtelijk van Anthony, maar ze had ook de Kracht om realistisch te blijven in een desperate sitZe moest haar Sociale Bescherming op de eerste plaats stellen en haar financiele zekerheid zeker stellen, sinds de Ton hun relatie ”In the Light” nooit zou accepteren.
Want DAT was het Dilemma.
 
Anthony hield diep en hartstochtelijk van haar, maar hij wilde zijn
positie als Viscount [Burggraaf] combineren met zijn liefde voor haar.
En JA, hij was bereid met haar te vluchten, zoals hij haar [opgewonden] vertelde bij zijn bezoek aan haar aan de vooravond van het Duel, als hij zijn beste vriend Simon in het Duel gedood had en het land moest ontvluchten [62]
Maar in Engeland blijven zou betekenen, dat hun Liefde ”in the Dark” zou blijven en zij wilde zo graag zijn vrouw ”In the Light” zijn -wat ze ook verdiende-en op een gegeven moment begreep ze, dat dat niet zou gebeuren, ondanks hun diepe en hartstochtelijke Liefde voor elkaar.
Dus het was niet uit harteloosheid dat zij hun relatie beeindigde, zoals een deel van de Bridgerton Fans beweert, maar juist uit liefde, Moed en Zelfbescherming.
 
Ze moest wel doorgaan met een man, die haar in het Licht kon brengen, terwijl ze zo wanhopig graag bij haar Geliefde had willen blijven.
 
Was hun Liefde doorgegaan, dan had dat ”in the Dark” gemoeten en als het toch ”In the Light” was gebracht [stel dat Benedict de Zaak was gaan runnen…….], dan had Anthony iedere dag moeten duelleren voor de beledigingen, zijn vrouw aangedaan.
 
MAAR LATEN WE NU HELEMAAL EERLIJK ZIJN
 
Want hoe destructief Violet’s rol ook was [63], hierin had Anthony ook zijn eigen verantwoordelijkheid.
WANT:
When all things are said and done [uiteindelijk] [64] had Anthony, hoeveel hij ook van Siena hield, niet de moed om het tegen zijn moeder op te nemen, om, wat de consequenties ook waren en hoe groot ook haar druk en emotionele chantage [65], alles achter zich te laten en te vluchten met Siena.
 
Dus gaf hij ”Lady Violent” de macht om zijn Leven en Liefde te verwoesten.
 
Ik denk dat Siena dat op het laatst begreep.
 
Zij had de moed om die hartverscheurende beslissing te nemen om hun Liefdesrelatie te beeindigen.
 
Dat was HAAR Kracht.
 
Zij was gepassioneerd, moedig, liefhebbend en loyaal tot het Einde [66]
Maar zij couldn’t be his fool again [zij kon zijn ”dwaze speeltje” niet meer zijn] [67]
Hartverscheurend, maar ze beschermde hem en zichzelf.
 
EN HET IS HOOG TIJD VOOR IEMAND OM DIT LUID EN DUIDELIJK UIT TE SPREKEN EN HAAR EINDELIJK DE EER TE GEVEN, DIE ZIJ MEER DAN VERDIENT

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, LADY VIOLENT
HALLO FOLKS
Hier even op een rij enkele Voorbeelden van de Druk en Emotionele Chantage van Anthony’s moeder, Lady Violent, vanwege zijn liefde voor opera zangeres Siena Rosso
En hoewel haar bezwaren tegen die relatie reeel en begrijpelijk waren vanwege de angst voor de sociale dood [ZIE NOOT 1] is de manier waarop Violet daarmee omging ronduit gemeen, naar en dehumaniserend.
Want kennelijk drong het niet tot haar door, dat ze niet alleen Siena Rosso diep dehumaniseerde, maar ook het diepste wezen van haar zoon trof, door zich zo uit te laten over de vrouw van wie hij hield.
Maar uiteindelijk heeft dat tegen haar gewerkt
Want ook na zijn huwelijk en geluk met Kate Sharma bleef Anthony niet alleen op veilige afstand [hij verhuisde naar het platteland] [2], hij bleef wrok koesteren voor de dehumaniserende manier waarop moeder Lady Violent was omgegaan met zijn liefdesrelatie met Siena Rosso. [3]
En ook zou hij niet vergeten, hoe kapot hij van de breuk was en dat alleen zijn beste vriend en nu zwager Simon Basset hem op liefdevolle wijze troostte [4]
Zo had zij de ”sociale dood” bestreden, maar was zij haar zoon emotioneel
definitief kwijt
Want terechte bezwaren hebben [vanwege die sociale dood] [5] is EEN ding
De vrouw van wie je zoon houdt dehumaniseren is onvergeelijk

VIOLET’S IMMENSE DRUK
AI OVERZICHT
De confrontatie in de werkkamer (Aflevering 1)
Een van de krachtigste confrontaties vindt plaats in de werkkamer van de familie. Violet herinnert Anthony aan zijn verantwoordelijkheden als gezinshoofd en spreekt hem aan op zijn dubbelleven:
  • De confrontatie: Violet vraagt Anthony recht op de man af of hij, wanneer hij de kamer verlaat, terugkeert naar zijn eigen huis of een bezoek brengt aan “een zekere sopraan aan de andere kant van de stad”.
  • Violets boodschap: Ze stelt dat hij zijn plichten verwaarloost. Ook zegt ze dat hij op zijn jongere broers vertrouwt om uiteindelijk het werk te doen dat hij “niet kan” (het veiligstellen van een erfgenaam en het hooghouden van de familienaam). Ze eindigt met de vernietigende vraag of hij slechts een oudere broer is, of werkelijk de “man des huizes”.
VIOLET’S EMOTIONELE CHANTAGE
Deze scène uit Bridgerton [Zie direct hierboven] komt hard aan omdat het perfect gebruikmaakt van Lady Violets moederlijke autoriteit om Anthony’s beschermingsmechanismen te doorbreken. Haar kritiek devalueert zijn liefde voor  ”de sopraan”, terwijl ze tegelijkertijd zijn diepste emotionele wond als wapen gebruikt: het verlies van zijn vader.
De drie lagen van pijn
  • De ontmenselijking: Door haar slechts aan te duiden als “een zekere sopraan” in plaats van bij haar naam (Siena Rosso), berooft Violet haar van haar menselijkheid. Deze bewuste belediging verandert de vrouw van wie Anthony houdt in een anoniem schandaal.
  • De vergelijking met Edmund: Het erbij halen van zijn overleden vader—”Je vader zou nooit…”—maakt misbruik van Anthony’s grootste trauma. Het is een emotioneel ultimatum dat de herinnering aan Edmund inzet om Anthony tot gehoorzaamheid te dwingen.
  • De financiële sneer: De nadruk op het feit dat Anthony het appartement betaalt, stelt de relatie voor als puur zakelijk. Dit negeert de emotionele realiteit van hun band, waarvan de kijkers wisten dat hij bereid was zijn titel en leven voor haar op te geven.

REACTIE ANTHONY OP DEHUMANISERING DOOR VIOLET
AI OVERZICHT
ANTHONY’S REACTIE
Tijdens die specifieke, kille confrontatie in zijn werkkamer in Seizoen 1 houdt Anthony de boot af door een ijzeren masker van onverschilligheid op te zetten. Wanneer Lady Violet haar vernietigende aanval inzet, weigert hij haar de emotionele reactie te geven waar ze op aast.
Hoe Anthony de boot afhoudt
  • Het fysieke incasseren: Anthony reageert niet verbaal. Hij spant zich fysiek aan en trekt zijn schouders strak om de klap van haar woorden te incasseren.
  • De ijzige blik: In plaats van te ontploffen, kijkt hij haar ijzig en strak aan. Het is een blik van gewonde trots.
  • De mislukte onverschilligheid: Hij probeert een totale onbewogenheid te veinzen. Alsof haar opmerking over de “zekere sopraan” hem niets doet.

AI OVERZICHT
Violets kleinerende houding is destructief juist omdat ze zelden expliciet uithaalt. Ze gebruikt passief-aggressief gedrag en manipulatieve stiltes om Siena te brandmerken als een onzichtbare, maar onmiskbare ‘zondige afleiding’ en een gevaar voor de familie.
Hier zijn drie specifieke voorbeelden uit Seizoen 1, beschreven en geanalyseerd om aan te tonen hoe Violet systematisch Siena’s waardigheid ondermijnt:
1. Het strategisch weglaten van haar naam (De tactiek van het doodzwijgen)
In alle scènes waarin Violet Anthony confronteert met zijn buitenechtelijke escapades, weigert ze consequent de naam ‘Siena’ uit te spreken.
  • De dynamiek: Door haar niet bij haar naam te noemen, weigert Violet Siena te erkennen als een mens van vlees en bloed. In Violets ogen is Siena geen vrouw met gevoelens, maar een abstract ‘probleem’ of een ‘zonde’ die moet worden opgelost.
  • Het effect: Dit is een van de meest kleinerende vormen van uitsluiting. Violet reduceert Siena hiermee tot een naamloze verleiding, een tijdelijke ziekte waarvan Anthony moet herstellen om zijn plichten als Viscount weer serieus te kunnen nemen.
2. Het dwangmatig inroepen van Edmunds erfenis (Schuldgevoel als wapen)
Telkens wanneer Anthony de balzaal verlaat of te laat komt voor Daphne’s presentatie, verweeft Violet haar berispingen rechtstreeks met de nagedachtenis van zijn overleden vader, Edmund.
  • De dynamiek: Violet zegt nooit rechtstreeks: “Je bent bij die minderwaardige operazangeres.” In plaats daarvan zegt ze met een kille, teleurgestelde blik: “Je vader zou eens moeten zien hoe je je plichten verwaarloost,” of “Als je wilt dat mensen naar je luisteren als Lord Bridgerton, zul je je daarnaar moeten gedragen.”
  • Het effect: Hiermee koppelt Violet Siena rechtstreeks aan Anthony’s morele falen. Zonder Siena’s naam uit te spreken, verandert ze haar in de belichaming van Anthony’s schuldgevoel. Siena wordt afgeschilderd als hét obstakel dat Anthony ervan weerhoudt om de waardige opvolger van zijn vader te worden.
3. De contrasterende lofzang op ‘respectabele’ vrouwen (De subtiele vergelijking)
Gedurende heel Seizoen 1 pusht Violet Anthony constant in de richting van de ‘huwelijksmarkt’ en prijst ze de deugden van jonge debutantes uit de hogere kringen.
  • De dynamiek: Tijdens het gezamenlijke ontbijt of op momenten dat ze Lady Whistledowns Society Papers leest, spreekt Violet vol lof over de “zuiverheid”, “elegantie” en “eerbaarheid” van geschikte huwelijkskandidaten. Ze doet dit terwijl ze Anthony indringend aankijkt.
  • Het effect: Dit is een vlijmscherpe, impliciete sneer naar Siena. Door te hameren op wat een vrouw ‘respectabel’ en ‘deugdzaam’ maakt, schetst ze een perfect profiel waaraan Siena — als werkende vrouw en operazangeres zonder adellijke status — nooit kan voldoen. Zo veroordeelt ze Siena indirect als een ‘onwaardige en destructieve’ zonde.

ANTHONY AND SIENA/LOVE SCENE  AT THE BOXING PLATFORM
ANTHONY AND SIENA/LOVE SCENE  AT THE BOXING PLATFORM
SEX UNDER THE BOXING PLATFORM BETWEEN ANTHONY AND SIENA/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]

ANTHONY AND SIENA/LOVE SCENE  AT THE BOXING PLATFORM
BRIDGERTON/THE BOXING MATCH SCENE BETWEEN ANTHONY AND SIENA/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]

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]
Folks, it was nice to travel with you again

Anthony and Siena/Love Scene under the Boxing Platform!

ANTHONY AND SIENA

ANTHONY AND SIENA/LOVE SCENE  AT THE BOXING PLATFORM
[EXTRA JUICY, FOLKS YOU WATCH THE SCENE CLOSELY, ANTHONY IS THERE WITH HIS BROTHERS BENEDICT AND COLIN!]
The Scene Beneath the Boxing Ring
While the match above them is in full swing—complete with all the noise, the stomping of feet on the wooden planks, and the roaring of the crowd—Anthony and Siena find each other in the semi-darkness beneath the platform.
The atmosphere: The setting is anything but romantic; it is dusty, cramped, and the wood above their heads rumbles with the heavy blows landing in the ring. This perfectly amplifies their “raw passion”: they don’t need a luxurious bed or silk sheets. Their desire is so urgent that they simply cannot wait.
The physical reaction: As they make love, you can see Anthony’s total surrender. The contrast is staggering: above them, the brutal force of the boxing match; below them, the brutal force of an illicit love. The fact that they are doing this while her “new protector” (the draper) is literally sitting just a few meters away in the crowd, turns it into an act of pure rebellion and desperation.
END OF THE SCENE
SEE ALSO
The Scene: The Boxing Match
The atmosphere is sultry, thick with sweat, smoke, and boisterous men from all walks of life. Anthony is sitting in the crowd, tightly buttoned into his suit, watching the show enthusiastically , yet trying to play the part of the dignified Viscount. Then he sees her. Siena. She is sitting beneath on the opposite side, with another man (a draper).
The Magnetic Glance:
Their eyes meet across the boxing ring. The world around them—the shouting, the violence of the fighters—fades away. In Anthony’s gaze, you see no anger because she is with another man, but a painful, hungry recognition. Siena looks back with a mixture of pride and profound sorrow. The “invisible threads” about pull them inexorably toward one another.
The Confrontation in the Shadows:
Moments later, they find each other in a secluded, dark corner of the arena, far from the prying eyes of the ton.
Anthony (his voice trembling with restrained passion): “I thought you had left. That you had found a new life.”
Siena (hands on her hips, her chin fiercely raised): “I have. A life where I do not have to wait for a man who is ashamed of me.”
Anthony (stepping into her personal space, the distance between them electric): “I was never ashamed of you. I was afraid. Afraid of what I felt for you.”
The Surrender:
Siena tries to look away, but Anthony grips her face. It is not a gentle touch; it is the raw, possessive grasp of a man who realizes he is not complete without her. Instead of a verbal argument, an explosion of physical attraction follows. They kiss with an intensity that is almost desperate—as if, by touching each other, they can shut out the entire world.
Anthony (whispering against her lips): “Come with me. To the Duke’s ball. I will show the world who you are to me. I no longer care what they say.”
