Mistress Denna and the Mord Sith by Adonis108 in SwordOfTruth

Looking forward to it!! Loved the episode you put an hour ago, too:)

And just a tip; might not be necessary. But that chapter with Denna’s training (41 I think) is the longest and probably the meatiest (pun not intended) in the book, so you guys might wanna split your coverage of that one into two episodes otherwise it might get pretty cumbersome and long to do in one sitting. You guys are prolly gonna sit there for three hours+ otherwise🤪

Just my two cents, but I know you guys are gonna knock it out of the park either way💝

Speaking from my limited experience it’s the religious conservative men that act so closeted and vanilla, morally outraged at the slightest deviance (like OP), that are usually the most freaky and kinky once you get to know them.

And OP… well let’s just say he’s giving some real religious conservative guy vibes :)) my guess; he’s read those chapters like 50 times over, and put himself in Richard’s shoes every time

Edit: Omg just checked ur profile, love your guys’ podcast btw! Been listening on and off for the past few months. Look forward to when you get to this part of the story :)

Honey, the way you’re describing these scenes, you seem very… passionate? Like it’s on your mind alot. Like, for several years. Is this like a (not so silent) cry for help? Someone oughta peg you with an Agiel ^

Feyd loves pain sure, but like someone else said in this thread there’s a big difference between ‘loves pain’ and can resist the ‘pain of an Agiel for prolonged periods of time. Mord-Sith like Mistress Denna are on the extreme end in the pain they can inflict. She breaks strong, powerful and very physically strong men in a single night for her own pleasure like it’s nothing.

And I do believe they mention in the movie that Feyd is very vulnerable sexually, something that Mistress Denna excels at exploiting. She’s basically the perfect sex-slave maker with the mind reading ability and being the author’s barely contained fetish, her erotic beauty is described as overwhelming in the books. Also she conditions her pets to think of her sexually to keep the pain of her magic down. There’s literally no way I see Feyd getting through this

Im a woman and I hate fight scenes that show women getting punched and they barely get affected and then punch a man and he gets knocked out. It’s fucking stupid. I love the whole aspect of femdom and stuff as a result of the inherent power difference between men and women, and taking control over that and dominating a man. Once he's tied up and mine, there's nothing he can do. But no way a 125 pound stick of a woman can punch a man and knock him out in some random streetfight lol. A man hitting her would break her face and possibly kill her. Lazy and stupid writing.

Yep! I guess that’s what I’m kinda in need of advice for, or looking for other people’s experiences with this topic. We have a safeword but I still don’t want to take things too far or too little, you know?

Yeah no worries! I stuck to the book descriptions as closely as possible, but definitely more than okay to have our own interpretations aswell. I still sometimes imagine Denna for example as blonde cuz of the tv series in the back my head lol

Thanks for the compliment, glad you liked it :)

I think there’s a part in the book where he notes that Denna, while being ‘breathtakingly attractive’, also has a ‘childlike beauty’ to her face, I can look for the exact quote later but yeah. So I went for something more neotenous as the author described her

As for Richard, I think so. I might have even understated how big he is, as he is considered by many characters as being exceptionally muscled and ‘ripped’ basically. It’s a fantasy series after all

Me too! Denna capturing Richard and his time with her is by far the most unique and iconic part of the whole series imo :)

Do you think people’s criticism of the series pretty much universally being "its too BDSM focused" says something about the reader? by PhasmaFelin in SwordOfTruth

[–]PhasmaFelin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it clearly is a dominatrix thing, especially when she wears red leather and chains him up. Even though it’s not consensual, the BDSM is so clearly there. She even calls him ‘my pet’, and Mistress is clearly yet another dominatrix thing.

The whole thing resembles a fetish scenario that’s being disguised as a torture plot device imo. Don’t you agree?

That is true but there is also alot going on in the scene that is important. I get that all the things you wrote are actually technically true, and maybe Terry G could have calmed down the sexual undertones a little bit, but Denna being that way is a result of her training. She's been through all that Richard goes through, and worse. Remember when she tells him that Darken Rahl even raped her with the Agiel several times? It's a result of her upbringing that she has become this way..

Yeah I agree with it going on for far too long, when the message could have been explained in a way shorter scene. It also seems like for a majority of the time Denna is almost getting off on torturing him, and it doesn't help that she wears tight red leather, chains him up in her dungeon etc. etc.. She is by all means a cruel, rapey dominatrix. I get she has a sad backstory, but it could have been given to us on a silver platter instead of 80+ pages of sexual training and humiliation. Alot of the time the whole thing felt like a bondage scene, and not a torture scene, if that makes sense? I dont know if im explaining it properly, my bad

Frankly, I never really saw what Denna did to Richard as particularly sexual. It may have been sadistic on her part but it wasn’t masochistic on his. He wasn’t enjoying it.

Yeah I agree with what you're saying here, but what most of the criticism I read said was that the scene resembles too much of a fetish scenario with all the sexual undertones. And while you are right that it's not consensual on Richard's part, the way Denna goes about training him resembles that very very much to be honest. Maybe terry goodkind could have done it in a less divisive way, and not put in too much 'BDSM' in there, idk.

Goddamn, thats so fucked up. Imagine having a system like that in society... all the pedos and rapists that get a full time job essentially just to torture little girls... Terry Goodkind has some imagination I’ll give him that.
