Poor Marian….I guess they are treating her like all the peasants.

You’ve hit the nail on the head I think. To the writers she is second class, unworthy of respect and her own story. She may as well be a problematic garden fence coming between Robin and Regina with the amount of humanity they have afforded her. I hate it when female characters are used like this! Like they are nothing but a gigantic hindrance to the ‘real’ characters until, that is, she can be used to further their story. She has literally become to Once what women in the comic book world are routinely reduced to – the ‘woman in the refrigerator’ trope (even though I don’t think her death/brush with death will make Robin go out on a revenge mission, my point of her being reduced to borderline ‘object’ status for the furthering of other character’s stories still stands).
