In the show? I didn't see fear and I didn't see violence, but I did see "too much too fast" and I didn't see her welcoming the act.
And I don't think how it was presented
in the episode it is as easy as either me saying
she didn't say stop or you saying that
if she's too scared to talk it's rape. I saw a far more complex situation with (on her side) guilts various that led to her accepting - submitting - because he "deserved" the sex / comfort, the affirmation that he's still her husband etc etc. So, as I originally said, I don't think it was rape but I didn't see it as wholeheartedly consensual. I thought in that context it was decidedly ambiguous.
