It's a beautiful scene in Netflix's latest series 'The Witcher' S1:E4- "Of Banquets, Bastard and Burials".

In this frame showing Yennefer along with a dead newborn baby who is daughter of queen Kalis. In this scene she talks a newborn dead baby who is lying nearby her. 

She tells the dead baby about what she has lost, what she would have been, what's would be a real worth of her life as a girl and what she has won with her death.

The scene starts when Yennefar is stuck at the side of queen Kalis, who has a newborn baby. Her husband wanted a boy so he sends an assassin to get rid of them both. Then Yennefer frantically teleport the queen from place to place but the assassin follow her close behind using his own magic.

This chase ends on a beach with the queen dead and Yennefer cradling the body of the infant girl. Yennefer gave up her ability to bear children in exchange for her enchantment, and it briefly looks as if this might be the child she can’t bear herself but the baby turns out to be dead as well, and after a bitter monologue about how it’s probably better to die than live as a woman anyway.

She begins to tell the dead baby the although you didn't have a full life but actually you didn't miss so much.

She further tells what could you have? If parents, then they were the ones who wrote your last act. So let's face it, since you were a girl and we are just vessels. Even we are told that we are special as she herself was, still they are only vessels for them to take and take until they are empty.

So count yourself lucky that you have won this game, even without knowing about it.

The death of the baby feels like a cruel kind of cosmic joke — a reminder from the universe to the sorceress that she chose a different kind of life. As with the implicit question of what separates a human from a monster, which has been threaded through the entire series.
