how has he treated her like an object?
Well almost, he idolise her too much and is freakishly obsessed with her. So yeah in a sense he doesn't see her as an individual
exactlyyyy
i thinks its less that he idolizes her and more that he believes that she came from a sheltered household(not one of abuse) and im not sure abt freakishly obsessed but maxi definitely needs help, the girl didnt even know what currency was until she left the house so riftan is more overly concerned than obsessed plus hes in live with her so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I think object is to much.. but because he is an obsessive person like an animal that marks what is theirs like very territorial soo I see Riftan like that..
But still its not good for Maxi's character dev. to make her self more open and stronger..
In the novel it’s because everyone was told by her father that she’s fragile and was always sick. He doesn’t want her to over exert herself. Also, he’s only been in love with her since he was 12. But he pisses me off bcus of his inferiority complex.
In what way does he treat her like an object you have to remember this is different times you can’t look at it from a point of view from this century it just don’t work also the knowledge he has of her is only what he’s heard from other people and the lies her family told just like the conversation they just had he doesn’t know the real her so he can’t treat her any way else he treats her according to what he knows and how she acts. She hasn’t told him anything about her past and is only now telling him the things she likes treating her with over protectiveness or with extra care isn’t objectifying her
Exactly...
Wait.. you mean Riftan was in love with Maxi for a very long time.? Like since he is 12yrs old.?
Wow.. sooo Maxi was his 1st love.? Am I correct.?
That's why I said I still like him because I know he doesn't know everything and I know he's gonna chill out in the future. I just find he's treating her like a fragile vase and I personally don't like that. I know it's in a different time period so that's why I still enjoy the story and like Riftan because that's just how it was back then but it is also a comic so usually the main characters show some modern aspects. It's not like this comic is trying to 100% medieval accurate it's a comic about a love story and if people in the comic can see how it's a weird the way he treats her sometimes then I think it's enough for me to dislike it.
Yep! You should read the novel in his perspectives. And he was a virgin when they had seggs too. He’s never been attracted to anyone else.
I like him but the way he acts towards Maxi is not going to help her at ALL. He is just treating her like an object and I feel bad for Maxi. I know Riftan has his own troubles and it's medieval times and he does clearly care about Maxi so I still like him but he needs to chill the f out.
