I find it one of the most moving scenes of the whole TV adaptation. It isn’t sophisticated or complicated, it’s just her sitting in front of her looking glass, in her underwear slowly and carefully removing her finery and jewels and laying them carefully down. Her husband, Bulstrode has been disgraced, his nefarious past having caught up with him. She is sloughing off all his ill-gotten riches – making herself naked of them. It is a solemn act, after which she walks down the stairs and, asking him to look up at her, she holds him. They both weep.
