Day 07: The Most Heartbreaking Scene?

Is there any ship in the world that exists that’s more heartbreaking that Robin and Marian? That’s a rhetorical question by the way. It’s just that when it comes to Robin and Marian, I have a lot of unresolved feelings, something that a lot of people can relate to. Robin and Marian were together for two seasons. And yet, I still cannot get enough of these two. I rewatch episodes and cry because they are just so freaking tragic. You see from the beginning Robin and Marian have a tumultuous relationship. It’s like Rolling in the Deep, they literally could have had it all. Robin and Marian were engaged before he went to the Holy Lands seeking glory, and then came back to find Marian “over him”. But when it seems like maybe their relationship is going to become more than just allies, Guy freaking Gisbourne comes into the picture. It’s tragic because we can totally understand what Marian is going through, she needs to protect her father and Robin is an outlaw, rejecting Guy because she’s still attached to Robin would be suicide. And we can understand what Robin is going through, because he loves Marian and she’s engaged to his enemy. The most heartbreaking scene is obviously Marian’s death. By this point Marian and Robin are together, they are engaged and completely in love. And right before her death Marian finally admits that she loves Robin and she’s going to marry him. See this is the defining moment in Marian’s life, because until that point she lives a life where she’s lying and cheating a man who may love her. A lot of people consider Marian horrible for being so cruel to Guy, but I think she was spot on. Should she be a little more considerate? Maybe, but I think that Guy really needed to hear it that blunt, because for two seasons he tricked himself into believing Marian’s lies, even though they stared him in the face. I mean, come on, he knew that the Nightwatchman was in leagues with Robin Hood, he should have realized when he found out that Marian was the Nightwatchman. I guess the only thing that made this moment bittersweet, was the fact that at least Robin and Marian were married before she died. That’s the only thing that slightly consoles me.
