Kate and Anthony Week: All I find myself being able to breathe for is you

In the gazebo scene Anthony says these words to Kate 'all I find myself being able to breathe for is you', it is in essence Anthony's first love declaration to Kate.

This line calls back to episode 3 when Violet, in the depths of her depression after Edmund's death, tells a devastated Anthony that 'Edmund was the air that I breathed, and now there is no air'. That this from Violet came almost immediately after she told Anthony she wished that she had died in childbirth, further devastated Anthony, but also set him on his path of not wanting to marry for love, and not wanting someone to love him as his mother had loved his father.

So when Anthony tells Kate that all he finds himself being able to breathe for is her, he is acknowledging the love that he has for Kate is as strong as the love that Violet had for Edmund, it shows Anthony's growth and his surrendering to love and acceptance that he will love Kate no matter where she is.

This theme of the breath is prevalent with Kate and Anthony in season two, and is something that the production team worked on, specifically the sound engineers. At times of Anthony and Kate being physically close we not only see them breathing each other's air, but we hear it as the sound of their breath is amplified and becomes a part of the story of Kate and Anthony.

I have seen some viewers, in their rush to show their disdain for season 2, ridicule this aspect of their characters, mock the importance placed on breath and say how disgusting they found it. This shows not only a lack of understanding of some of the central themes for season 2, it shows a gross ignorance in understanding the importance that the human breath plays in many cultures.

I alluded to the importance in breath yesterday when discussing the dances of Kate and Anthony, and in particular the final move of the 'Wrecking Ball' dance, where Kate and Anthony are close, and sharing each other's breath. In many cultures the breath symbolises life, it is spiritual, and in some cultures the sharing of the breath is something that is sacred and seen as being a gift from the gods.

For me personally, I am most familiar with its cultural and spiritual importance within the Polynesian cultures, specifically that of the New Zealand Maori and Native Hawaiian cultures. The sharing of breath, is the sharing of life, it is the way that they greet each other.

For Hawaiians the traditional greeting, honi, where the two people greeting each other touch their foreheads and noses, welcomes each other into their space by sharing the breath of life. This greeting is similar to the New Zealand Maori greeting, which also involves touching foreheads and noses, and the sharing of the breath, to welcome a person, where they are seen, not as a visitor, but as Tangata Whenua (one of the people of the land). This is a spiritual greeting and the sharing of breath is seen as coming directly from the gods.

The Inuits also greet each other in a similar manner, called Kunik, though this is usually only reserved for family members, as opposed to the New Zealand Maori and Hawaiians who use it more widely. In the Inuit culture the Kunik involves pressing your nose and upper lips to the other person, and breathing in the scent of the person you are greeting.

These are not the only cultures around the world that use the sharing of breath in greeting, whether for those that are family, friends, or honoured and revered guests, this act is spiritual and intimate. It connects those that are sharing their breath, and it symbolises their life force.

So for me, the addition of the breath in Season 2 with respect to Kate and Anthony is symbolic of their life force. Kate is Anthony's life force, and he is hers, their sharing of breath throughout the series is a physical representation of this, just as Anthony's words 'all I find myself being able to breathe for is you' is a verbal representation of this.

The depiction of this could have been something that was played for laughs, humour, and essentially mocking the beliefs that believe in the breath of life, it is a credit to Chris van Dusen, Jonathan Bailey, and Simone Ashley that it was done in a sensitive and serious way. It is just sad that some so-called Bridgerton fans deem it something to be mocked and made fun of.

Day 1: Midnight at the library

Anthony quite literally stumbled over her in the library. "Shit, sorry–" He realized who it was huddled in a ball. "Kate?"

"Bridgerton," she choked out. Her breathing was shallow and there were tears running down her face. It was obvious to Anthony that she was having a panic attack.

He crouched beside her, a hand reaching toward her before he froze. "Can I touch you?" He winced at how that sounded. "Nothing weird! Just– my sister Eloise found it comforting."

Eloise was the one with their father when he died of anaphylaxis almost five years earlier. She'd been five and nearly inconsolable for weeks. The panic attacks started a couple of months later and Anthony, dutiful older brother just trying to lessen his mom's burden, learned everything he could about how to support her.

Kate nodded shakily and Anthony dropped down next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and rubbing her arm in a comforting pattern. She leaned into him heavily, breathing ragged. After a moment, she spoke again, "Can you talk to me? Please?" Her voice was hesitant and so small– not right for her at all.

"I never wanted to date your sister," Anthony blurted out. In his defense, it was the first thing that came to mind. He dropped his head back against the bookshelves hard but kept talking. "You were acting so unaffected and ignoring me and I wanted–" What? Her attention? His neck and ears heated with embarrassment. "I don't know, to get a response, I guess, but I took it too far and I'm sorry.

There was a long moment between them where the only sound was her breathing. "I'm sorry too," Kate admitted, voice still quiet but stronger. "I know I overreacted. You're not even Eddy's type."

"Please, I'm everyone's type."

"Trust me, you're not." She snuggled a little closer. "Tell me about your family."

"Well, I have seven younger siblings. My mom has an event planning business we all help with on weekends."

"What about your dad?"

"He died when I was thirteen. It was really sudden."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Mine died a couple years ago too. Cancer."

"Sucks."

"Yeah." The grief was palpable. Suffocating. Thankfully Kate broke it, "What was your dad like?"

"He was the best. He loved us all so much. He worked hard but also made time for each of us individually. I didn't mention but there's two sets of twins in the family and he would always make sure each got their own time and attention." Anthony closed his eyes. "I hate that Hyacinth, she's the youngest, never got to meet him. It's so unfair."

"It is," Kate agreed, "but at least she has the rest of you. When you never knew a parent… you don't miss them like we miss our dads. It's more like being told a story you can never truly understand. If they loved horses, you wonder if you would've done equestrian or if you might've vacationed at a dude ranch instead of the beach." It was as if she could sense the silent question Anthony didn't dare ask. "My mum died when I was three. Car accident during a storm– I was in the backseat. Mary, Eddy's mum, is my guardian now."

"I, uh… I didn't know that."

Kate shrugged a little self-consciously. "Why would you? Mary's the best, though. She's basically my mom."

Her breathing seemed to be back to normal, so Anthony untangled himself from her. "Here, let me just–" He went to the librarian desk and grabbed several tissues.

He handed them to Kate when he returned and she wiped her face. "How do I look?"

Her eyes were still red and her eyeliner was smeared but the only word that came to mind was striking and Anthony knew better than to say that. "Maybe wash your face before next period," he suggested with a lopsided smile. He offered her a hand to help her off the floor.

Kate accepted his help with a small thanks. He tried to shrug it off but she shook her head. "No, seriously– thank you. You didn't have to be so nice."

And all he could think was that it'd never occurred to him to do anything else.

Nothing to see here, just Anthony and Kate having total meltdowns, completely unhinged at the thought that they will never see each other again, causing them to freak out and say things that make no sense. Anthony with his “How dare you try to get me to stay away from your sister by threatening to go to India!” and Kate with her “Damn it, now I have to beg you to marry my sister because you’ve threatened me with never crossing paths again!”

Kate and Anthony Week: I am a Gentleman

Throughout Season 2 we hear Anthony utter the words 'I am a gentleman'. To be honest I never counted how many times he said it, but I do feel that we believe he said it more times than he did, one day I might rewatch and count the number of times that line is said.

However, whilst some (including me) may laugh and think it is funny, make jokes about it and even turn it into a drinking game Anthony saying these words whilst acting anything like a gentleman, I think there is another meaning for him saying the words.

Some have speculated it is Anthony reminding himself he is a gentleman for him to keep control whilst he is around Kate, however, I think it goes further, and is as much Anthony reminding himself (and Kate) that she is a lady. This echoes back to a conversation he had with Siena in Season 1.

In Season 1, in one scene with Siena Anthony is talking about having to leave her to escort Daphne to a ball, Siena complains and Anthony says that someone must protect Daphne. Siena comments that Daphne is lucky, not every woman has someone to protect them, Anthony's response is 'not every woman is a lady'. The point he is making is that Siena is not a lady, he is very much dividing the women in his life.

So moving on to Season 2, as Anthony tells Kate he is a gentleman, and repeats this to her, I believe there is more to this than just him reminding himself that he is a gentleman. It goes further, he is reminding himself Kate is a lady, someone that needs to be protected from men in society. But beyond that, this is the message he is passing on to Kate as well, he is telling her that she is a lady and he, as a gentleman, will protect her.

This comes to fruition in the gazebo scene where during their argument (foreplay?), Anthony says the phrase again, but this time followed with the words 'and you are a lady'. His actions after this exchange show Anthony attempting to 'protect' Kate as he tells her to go inside, he does this at a point where his control appears to be at its lowest. Kate doesn't leave, but as they kiss and Anthony moves back to say he will stop, he is again showing that he is there to protect Kate from unwanted advances, that he, as a gentleman, will protect her, as a lady.
