well i agree that rené was pathetic, i am not so sure about sir stephen. I kinda liked the way he trained O, and i didnt pity O but found her to be brave and strong. It is true that in the sequel sir stephen commits murder, O is degraded to an prostiture, but im just not convinced thats the right ending (yeah i want it my way ).

Perhaps the ending was just her (the author) way of excusing to the world... oh no ive made an hero of an submissive lol. Well in my world subs are heroes and heroines!

Yes they do treat her harshly, but isnt that what she wants? she does find out that she desires the whipping in the end, so why not give it to her? im running out of time, ill check back later. im sure we all can agree that it is an damn fine story
