Marriage and children: What is the culture behind it?
Hello everyone,
I am extremely curious concerning the subject of marriage and children, what is the culture behind it? For example, does the emperor have to have a lot of wives and numerous children to continue the royal line? Does the emperor have a lot of wives for political gain? I get the impression that the emperor is playing his children either against each other or maybe something else to prove their worthiness to be the next successor to the throne, and whomever proves worthy may have to remove their father by exiling him or killing him to challenge him for the throne. I think that this is terrible, but it appears to be that type of environment they live in. The emperor is a crappy father! However, to be fair he was probably raised without love and affection from his own father and/or mother, so he does not know any better. We do not know the history of the current emperor's childhood. And, does the emperor marry off his children for political gain? It would be nice if the series could explain the social culture and customs of the Britianina empire, but I do not think that this will happen. It seems to me that you have to piece together their social customs from certain episodes and do your best to interpret it. I do hope that I have not confused anyone with my questions. I would appreciate any help that you can give me.
Thanks!
