I think you are wrong. There was love between the two. Yes, their was sex, nudity, and some grunting going on, but Edgil actually loved the girl. Even the first time that he saw her, he realized that he liked her. She wasn't having sex with him for any sort of a reward, she was doing it because she liked him. When two people are in love, usually they end up having sex. I believe that the two felt something special. The girl wasn't educated and knew of no better way to show her affection to Edgil than to make love to him. At the end of the movie, when she was going to be killed, you saw the pain he was going through. He really like her. That was a kind moment, it was more than just that she gave him pleasure, he felt something inside for her. The same goes for her. At the very end, when he rode off on his horse, she looked after him wiht that sad longing. She truly like him. That was the only reason that they had sex. And one final point, the girl was not the only uneducated one. If you remember, the monks were mostly ugly and disgusting. Remember that albino? He lurked around at night eating rats! You can't get much more disgusting than that! Most of the monks were gross to look at, the girl had some inner beauty to her, even though she was being used. It was because she was being used that the viewer could find sympathy for her. It was about more than sex.
