Is It a Mother's Choice?

The reality of being a mother, particularly in a modern society is so much more complex than that. What I love most about this portrayal of Reneer is that being a mother doesn't change who she is not really. That scene where she is giving birth while the men are plotting war is a representation of how gender can and is often used against her. It reminds you of the scene in the small council where her breasts start leaking. It's not a sign of weakness, but men in power will surely view it as such. To see this nuanced portrayal of motherhood and Reneer, I think it's why we're thinking about Cat a lot. The Roy kids mom succession.
