★☆☆☆☆
Self-centered heroine justifies rape
She rapes him then justifies the rape as his fault. She sees he's incompacitated, determines he's helpless to stop her, and decides that is the only time she can get that she wants. Regardless of his consent. Which he explicitly denied on multiple occasions. During and after the rape, she mitigates the violation with nauseatingly familiar justifications: she knows he wanted it, she couldn't help herself, it was his fault really for trying to deny her in the first place - he didn't have a right to say no, she was confused and couldn't remember exactly who had done what (lady, you sat beside him and methodically planned it out then raped him)! Worst of all, she denies the rape until the bitter end and uses gas lighting techniques to convince them both it never happened. It's sick. Daphne is the worst excuse for a heronine I've read in a long while.
