National romanticism at its best! So tragic to watch this in our modern times. It’s like watching a film where women who dabble in herbs are being burned on the pyre. Here, I guess it’s a portrayal of how poly women would have been treated. Really, the way Petra is portrayed here is like nothing more or less. She didn’t think twice about loving several people. It just came natural to her. To everyone else of course, a huge scandal. Sigh.
