When will Bridgerton do right by Lady Danbury?

When we finally get the answer to why Lady Danbury is so crazy that her brother and her best friend might be hooking up (besides the fact that she’s her brother and her best friend; Eloise has been angry about the same scenario all season long), it’s because of the even greater trauma that Lady Danbury faced as a young woman. She was trying to escape before her wedding to Lord Herman Danbury and Marcus, then just 10 years old, grabbed her and prevented her escape. Lady Danbury’s marriage was full of disappointment and pretense as she fulfilled her social duties against her will before becoming the independent (and wealthy!) woman of status and influence we now know. In an emotional conversation, Marcus admits that he fought with Agatha, but only because he wanted her to stay in their house protected. He never told her the truth because, “I wasn’t just in awe of you, I was afraid of you,” he says. It’s a sweet moment between the sisters and I’m glad we got to see a softer side of Lady Danbury as she reconciles with Marcus, their reconciliation leads to another heartfelt moment, this time between Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton, their friendship is one of my favorite series, and I love that they were able to express themselves to each other. For these are older women in a world that favors youth and men and values ​​love above all else, marriage is the only way for women to achieve anything (unless you’re Penelope Featherington aka Lady Whistledown . ) and romance is the currency with which a woman’s worth is exchanged Bridgerton family (which we see when he convinces the Queen that the Bridgertons are not behind Lady Whistledown) is an act of fierce faith. It is a testament to character and proof that he will do anything for the people he loves. But she’s also the selfless, magical, sidekick we see so many black women relegated to in romances. Lady Danbury, with her cane pimp, lavender puffs, high collars and bad hats, is full of the main character’s energy. Only a fool would leave a character like her, played as perfectly as Andoh plays her, on the sidelines. So I ask it Bridgerton authors, you are so stupid?
