I'm sure that Anna felt shameful for having been raped, but I found most of the POV in the story coming from Bates. Also, she wasn't upset or afraid of all men, just Bates.

I gathered that was because he was the only man who would be permitted to physically touch her. Maybe????

back from Pride and Prejudice times, when someone married into the family they were referred to as brother and sister not so much as brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

I'd just like to hear her introduce him as or say you are...my brother
As to the other parts of your posts...
Yes, it is certainly different how Alfred is being helped when Gwen was not. Do you think it was meant to show changing times or some degree of sexism?
Baxter seems nice, but is that
only because Thomas wants her to be? Or is it that she really is nice, but Thomas has something on her...which they know, but we do not...yet. She also mentioned saying something to Cora about Sybil as a way to ingratiate herself with Cora. Seems strange that Thomas would prompt her to use Sybil's name in that way, but we are talking about Thomas here, so ?????
OMG, we've done it, too. Forgot old Edith. That SL looks ominous.
