The Mysteries of Whores

Are all women bought and sold? For that matter, are all men whores too? Last night’s Game of Thrones dvd delved into sex worker psychology, while a major character made the ultimate sacrifice for a girl.

Just what is a whore, and do whores have feelings too? wacth Game of Thrones dvd asks the tough questions so hard, it might just knock your head off. Spoilers ahead…

There were four women or girls at the center of last night’s Game of Thrones. In which:

– Sansa Stark successfully sells herself and her father out, but doesn’t get what she was hoping for in return.

– Daenerys faces life without her husband Khal Drogo, in which she’s just an ex-Khaleesi. And discovers she’ll pay any price to keep her man alive.

– Catelyn Stark goes horse-trading with a dirty old man, and sells him one of her daughters (and one of her sons, too.)

– And a camp follower named Shae hits the jackpot: Tyrion Lannister, who turns out to have a very complicated relationship with sex workers but doesn’t understand Shae at all.

These four storylines interweave, and meanwhile the deaths of powerful men loom on the horizon.
