Braids
Added 2020-10-15 01:41:11 +0000 UTCNote:
In the Middle Ages, people were quite sensitive to hair and caring for it. Since it was believed that having obtained a lock of hair, one could make corruption or bewitch, they didn't allow outsiders to touch a hair. Combing of hair was a whole ritual. Weaving braids was trusted only by close relatives or lovers.
Also, if a girl loosened her braid in front of a guy, it was an invitation to have a sex.
In the context of elven culture:
Braids are also important. They can make sense to the wearer, not just a fashion trend or a way to stand out. For elves, braiding is also a ritual for those closest people, a sign of complete trust.
Thus, in this episode, the she-elf states her intentions quite explicitly in her own words, which infuriates Caranthir. She does it in public, which gives rise to doubts about the sincerity of her intentions.
So, what will happen next?!
Comments
I remember a doodle that Ciri is braiding Ava's hair. That only close people can do this make me love that doodle more. What the she-elf has said is truly an insolence. Hair is also important in ancient China. When people cut the hair, it means a great disrespect. These culture researches are interesting. Please share more: D
