I am confused with Constance's role with the musketeers? She married D'artagnan, but is now a musketeer herself and fighting alongside with them and running things. When did she became all of that? Has it been explained?
Please explain!
The show didn't really explain Constance's role in S3, not in detail anyway - not given enough screentime.
I don't think she's a proper Musketeer - at least not officially - but with the boys being away during the war, she's had to help run the garrison and look after the new cadets. She can fight to defend herself but she won't be up to the standards of her husband and the other Musketeers.
Personally, Constance became a bit too aggressive for me in the new series. I'm a woman myself but I don't feel she needs to be equal to the men when it comes to swordfighting etc.
Constance is one of my favorites and I love that she has all this fire and tenacity. I look at it in terms of women's roles during that time and what it probably would've been for us: subservient, dutiful, meek. She, Silvie and Anne are really the opposite of that while also being able to hold their own within that society. I don't think Constance is trying to be "equal" to the men but rather she is finding her own. In earlier seasons, she was interested in learning swordsmanship and handling a pistol so they taught her. Also, being married to a Musketeer that is probably away for some lengths of time, especially if there's a war going on, I would want to be able to handle myself also. Constance was always some kind of aggressive but now that she's free from her irritating husband and married to a man that embraces that fire in her probably enhanced it. She's not a Muskateer and I don't think she's trying to be one. I doubt women would have been allowed into something like that anyway.
I think she wants what women back then couldn't have: independence and strength.
I have EXORCISED the demon
Yes, Constance has always had some aggression and strength but in S3 the writers went a bit OTT with it IMO.

I think she's supposed to be house keeper to the garrison, but that D'Artagnan has taught her to shoot and fight as well as the men.(some sort of positive role model nonsense) I can't be sure bacause I try to fast forward her scenes if I can, as I cannot stand the character. I'd much rather they'd made D'Artagnan a widower.
so bollocks is bad, but dogs bollocks is good?
Yeah, I also don't like the character, though I cannot exactly tell you why.
Sometimes she comes off too strong and I think that she has no whatsoever chemistry with D'Artagnan, so I agree with you that I would prefer them being apart, or D'Artagnan becoming a widower.

Good to see I'm not the only one who finds her (hugely) annoying. Didn't like her from the get-go, and her booty-calls couldn't have been any more transparent if she'd tried to. But especially in series three, acting like "one of the boys" and if she owns the place, continuously wearing those ridiculous big leather gloves (even Xena goes through life without leather gloves), treating d'Artagnan more like she's his mum, instead of his lover/wife, makes me want to puke! And can mrs Know-it-all ever shut up?! Always that same facial expression, like she's about to crap her knickers, ugh.. At first I didn't like Milady, but to honest, she's really starting to grow on me.
shareYeah, especially in the last season she is very mommy-like towards d'Artagnan. There is no chemistry and no lovers-feeling between them. It was the worst in one scene, where she tries to get something out of his hair or tries to arrange it. I was seriously expecting her to lick her fingers in order to clean a stain from his face. ξ
I also agree with you about the wish to silence her. I don't know why, but I don't like the way she talks. ξ
But I guess my biggest problem with the character is that she is so damn boring. In comparison to Mylade she is completely bland.

I am asking myself who decided to put that little gem in. The director or maybe the actress herself? Real strange move.
Anyways thanks for the tip with Versailles. I'll check it out. ξΉ

Lπks like you were just in time to catch those links I've posted, πππ, nice one!
And if the π©moderator decides to delete someone's post, instead of a shifty drive-by killing, at least motivate your decision with reasons for doing so (simple properties called "manners" if I remember correctly). And btw, there's nothing illegal whatsoever, about visiting those websites I mentioned, and I did suggest as a rule, the use of adblockers, aside from strongly advising protective software programs, like anti-malware/-virus detection, and/or scanners, to venture any visits in relative safety. So what's the harm in linking people up? ξ
No, sorry I didn't catch those link. I was just interested in the series Versailles. :-)
So, posts get deleted if one puts links from other sites in those posts?
Or were there other reasons for the deleting? I don't quite get it.

(sorry for the delay)
Nah, I gave you a link for a website where you can watch direct streaming of the complete series (of Versailles and many, many more), without having to register; the only thing needed is adblockers, and an active anti virus/-malware program. Like my favourite site, /oΚΛsΗΔ±ΙΉΗsΙ₯ΙΚΙΚΗΙ₯Κ (just turn your head upside down to read). I wonder whether this message will survive..
