#I love the use of the interludes for snippets of dialogue
#violence as the problem not sex
#but also the positioning of violence as the problem is just as fraught as the positioning of sex as the problem in the song
#both the song and the video are told from the spectators point of view and not the agent's
#the singer views Roxanne's engagement and sex work as inherently demeaning but she probably doesn't
#steed views Ed's engagement in violence as inherently demeaning even when it is an appropriate response
#don't demean yourself Ed
#when Ed orders the torture and death of the French Captain who guess what Stede is already condemned to die under the rules of piracy
#and the torture threat is probably not carried out given how difficult and time-consuming it would have been
#but still it is important for Ed to make in asserting his power and humanity to somebody who refuses to see him as human
#I mean look I am not into torturing people with snail spoons IRL
#but this is a narrative and the problem with Ed's violence is not that it demeans him
#but that it is psychologically costly
#I mean that's the whole reason he farms out his violence to other people
#because it costs him too much
#and yet narratively it is necessary and justified in a lot of cases
#even if in real life we don't condone murder
#fiction is a place to explore ideas and meaning
