reading the story of O left me with a fealing of sadness. I simply cant understand why sir stephen would leave her after he made her perfect. In the text file i have there are given two possible endings:

in a final chapter, which has been suppressed, O returned to Roissy, where she was abandoned by Sir Stephen.

there exists a second ending to Story of O, according to which O, seeing that Sir Stephen was about to leave her, said she would prefer to die. Sir Stephen gave her his consent.

Both endings are sad, and neither works for me. Perhaps thats why it enthralls me so, perhaps i simply cant let O be treated that way. In other words I want to rescue O from that terrible fate, and therefore teh story lingers within me.
