#half of them secretly hate elain – @clamentis on Tumblr

Seeing a comment on Reddit about Lucien giving Elain “a taste of her own medicine” get hundreds of upvotes is so… ugh

Elain’s apparent ‘medicine’ is just wanting a man that’s not Lucien. Like that’s it. It’s not wanting the bond that was thrown at her on the worst day of her life. It’s not wanting a bond that she has no choice in, one that makes her uncomfortable. Elain’s ‘medicine’ is being too polite to send Lucien away, despite the discomfort his presence brings her. It’s wanting a man that brings her comfort, that risked his life for her, who was the only person who didn’t think she’d gone crazy, etc.

What is with this need to “give Elain a taste of her own medicine” or for Lucien to “put her in her place”.

Yikes.
