Bradley provides her readers with parallel experiences – the rape of Allira Storn by the bandit Brynat, and the psychic rape of Dan Barron by Loran Storn. Both Allira and Dan are overcome by force and their bodies made to do things they would not have done by choice. In both cases, the perpetrators justify their actions on the basis of need – Brynat needs to marry Allira to legitimize his sack of Storn, and Loran Storn needs to protect Storn Castle. The reader is left to consider the consequences. Huckfeldt, Cynthia Rose; "Avoiding "Teapot Tempests": The Politics of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover," pg 95–104, 17 Nov 2008, University of Wyoming
