Oh goodness no. The Romans were much harder on their prisoners than this and as systematic. What about the triangle slave trade - two or more months on a hell ship? The cruelties of pre-modern China were for decades assumed to be a myth - they weren't. The Vikings weren't systematic, but were quite a bit more cruel. And don't get me started on the Harkonnens.
As strange as it sounds, its not that bad. She seems to have some basic rights, which the folks above did not. She seems to have the right to choose her fate. No one is being out and out violated. She stole, she's in jail. The punishment of being in jail for years seems unduly harsh to our sensibilities, but the choices she has been offered clearly have been simply stolen from the less powerful in the past.
EXACTLY! There are no crueler creatures in the world than mankind.. there is no depths to which men will not sink for sick perverse entertainment or callous cruelty!
North Korea of today, the honor maimings and murder in the tribal traditions of the middle east and India Asia, not to mention the brutality of Shariah law inflicted by zealots in the name of "righteousness", 'nuff said!
And we have the answer. The "catch" is PORN! Bern is going to have to "sell herself" in front of witnesses.
OH how horrid... {hidden lascivious grin}... that's soo evil! {Clattering noise of VCR and DVR being set up to record}!
No... maybe heh.. but I think it might have more to do with killing someone inconvenient who just happens to be in the penal-system with her who the 'powers that be' have asked the Warden to make sure they NEVER survive to pay off their marks... or possible even throwing a fight intentionally so the house can make a killing in the side betting on the matches! Surely you understand gambling is not illegal here and I'm sure there is a healthy market for it here in the land of 'CASH is KING!'
Guess I sort of nailed it! Sheesh. Not sure I like the idea that I can think like these twisted assholes!
THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT to these sickos in Bern's case!
They don't want a prositute... they could hire a willing and much more skilled whore than Bern would ever be. NO. This is ALL about demeaning a proud and noble heart. Some people get a kick out of hurting and defiling the purity of spirit in the innocent. It is not lost on the powers that be WHY Bern is in this situation! She is known to be a law-abiding upstanding warrior woman.. but she willingly broke the law for the sake of loving devotion to a father who hardly has been a sterling model of fatherhood. Her actions in the arena showed her to be a gentle and unviolent young woman. Yes she is a warrior, they know how good she is it can't have escaped their notice so for her to not give into anger or casual violence to save herself says something about her nature and heart. She is a gentle soul without malice or cruelty or depravity in her heart...
To the twisted, jaded, and lascivious that is a 'choice' piece of meat to have fun seeing her whimper and the mental torment not to mention the shear look of shame in her eyes as her spirit is broken if she chooses option A of having to live with the memory of her flesh defiled by the perverse hands of lustful defilers; of the barbaric tasks they've set before her!
DO NOT miss the fact the Entertainment has already started.. they are likely already betting on which option she will take!
So eye guess its, 'say goodbye to the one Eye love!'
