Was Alicent right to demand an eye for an eye in this week's episode of HouseOfTheDragon?
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Episodes 1-7 of House of the Dragon.In the world of House of the Dragon, violence runs rampant. It is no surprise people are callused to it. With harsh punishments given out on the regular and tourneys where casualties are unsurprising, it shouldn't shock anyone that the Targaryen children's skirmish in Episode 7, "Driftmark," ends with blood. But that doesn't mean the kids shouldn't be held responsible.
Rather than leaving it at the fact that Laena's death left Vhagar free, Aemond took it further. After a lifetime of being bullied for not having a dragon, Aemond takes the chance to bully Rhaena for the same reason. When Aemond tells her a pig would suit her, Rhaena loses her composer. Already angry that Aemond is Vhagar's new rider and emotional from her mother's funeral, Rhaena attempts to shove Aemond. While Rhaena initiates the violence, Aemond did intentionally goad her into it.
Whose Fault Is It, Anyway? Jace, at least, seems to know what he's doing, though he may not have known Luke would go for Aemond's eye. The knife is small, and a slash to the skin would have healed. Both sides went too far in the fight, and it's hard to tell who initiated things. Technically, Rhaena started the violence, but Aemond provoked her. If left with wounds that would heal, the issue itself would be far less notable. But as it is, someone has to be at fault.
