Claire really is insufferable. Rewatching gripes with s2 & 3.
I am off on maternity leave at the moment so thought I would do a full rematch before s7 finishes up and I'm sitting here watching s3 and my hatred for Claire is at an all time high! Her entitlement and arrogance truly knows no bounds! The amount of suffering she has put both Jamie and Frank through with her brash decisions and sense of self righteousness is unreal! It's all about Claire and "what's right" which normally is wrong and leaves a wake of devastion for both men. I have read the books and I don't remember feeling this way about her.
S2 in Paris, why oh why did she push her way through the Dock and declared "small pox!" In front of everyone? Creating a nightmare for Jamie and his cousin and nothing but problems the whole season.
S3 When she goes back to Frank although she initially agrees to raise the child in a platonic relationship, yet, she certainly can't seem to keep her hands off him. Then when she finds out about Sandy she flies into a rage like she didn't marry a whole other man, fall in love and have two children with! Poor Frank ends up dead as a result of yet another argument with her.
Back to Scotland in s3, she's back and asking Jamie who he's been with and who he's loved all whilst omitting she fucked Frank. Then there's the break in and her insistence that she heal a man that tried to murder her putting everyone around her in danger, she knows full well what the law and how corrupt 18th century Scotland was but she seems to think that "well I didn't murder him" will get her and Jamie off the hook 🫠
I know it's just a story and we wouldn't have it without things going wrong but has there ever been an instance where Jamie told her to no and she listened?
Side note..I think Caitriona is a phenomenal actress but Claire is a pest from the depths of hell.
Solem oath my arse!
