Sigrids development


To me she seems to change rather abruptly for me a sweet supportive woman to a bitter hateful cheater. Did it seem natural given she married someone she didn't really know and had hopes for her life that didn't pan out or was it just done for plot reasons?

There are seven years between seasons 4 & 5. A lot can happen in that time to change a person. It seems obvious to me that Nelson was not a nurturing father or husband.

And I think it was in S4 where they were having problems with the house and she was taking it out in him.

This is a show written entirely by men, and they're mostly Catholic men in their fifties and sixties. They understand women only in the most ignorant and self-serving ways, as either bland and passive and sexually undemanding mothers (i.e. Eli's wife) or ravenous and devious and insatiable temptresses and whores (i.e. Nucky's girl Lucy in Season One.) Sigrid is the ultimate nightmare for an aging male Catholic -- a wife who insists on having a sexual identity of her own and who refuses to keep quiet about her needs.
