HouseOfTheDragon Episode 4 focuses on the sexuality and passion of women, specifically Rhaenyra's.
In Episode 4 of House of the Dragon, "King of the Narrow Sea," Daemon Targaryen returns home to King's Landing as a victor of the war of the Stepstones. However, the episode does not revolve around Daemon's return but focuses on the sexuality and passion of women, specifically Rhaenyra . Female sexuality in the world of Westeros is rarely something that is taken into consideration. Women, as Rhaenyra's mother Queen Aemma put it, serve the realm by having babies.
This is shown again in Episode 3, "Second of His Name," when Rhaenyra runs off during a hunting party. After killing a boar that attacks her, she is visited by the white hart stag, a mythical symbol of royalty. The hunting party has been pursuing the animal, and Otto Hightower desperately wants to capture the stag as proof that baby Aegon is fated to be the king, but instead, it appears to Rhaenyra.
The People Want, and Expect, a Male Heir As a young woman in line to be the regent, with another male heir in the game people will always prefer the man. Otto states this when he encourages Alicent to push the king to make Aegon the heir. He tells Alicent, "It wouldn't matter if she were Jaehaerys himself born again. Rhaenyra is a woman," adding, "It is Aegon that's been robbed. He's the firstborn son of the King.
Rhaeyra Risks Everything By Finding Pleasure in Her Sexuality Rhaenyra correctly points out that while men can do what they want after they marry, for women it is a death sentence. And she means that in a literal sense after her mother died trying to produce an heir for Viserys. When we see Rhaenyra in Episode 4, she is indulging in something that is forbidden to women: pleasure.
