What she says: I’m fine.
What she really means: How does this make sense? Oberyn Martell expressed his disgust with the way places outside of Dorne treated their children and women. His whole goal was to avenge his sister’s death but he didn’t want innocents to be a part of that. He just wanted justice for those directly connected to Elia’s death – Robert, Tywin, The Mountain, and Lorch. Ellaria knew this and WANTED THE SAME. Ellaria was not some vengeful woman out for blood. She even asked when all this vengeance end, or would it be a cycle that never ends. She’s described as strong but gentle hearted for a reason. Why would she commit act after act that goes outside her character? Also, would she really be so irresponsible to kill Myrcella and start war with the Lannisters and kill Doran and start a stryfe in her own home? And like, there’s no Arianne or Quentyn in the show who is going to take over? Neither Ellaria nor the Sand Snakes are in a position to rule. Sure, Dorne has different rules when it comes to bastards (and women) but they’re still seen as less than especially when it comes to powerful nobility. Basically, what are they doing with this plot?
