50 shades of grey non disclosure agreement

The question I want to ask is whether Christian grooms Ana, and whether Beast grooms Belle. The rest of the trilogy is about how he keeps hold of her.įor Beauty and the Beast, the point of focus is the scene in the tower where Belle negotiates for her father’s freedom and agrees to stay with Beast ‘forever’. This isn’t the only deal making (and breaking) that happens between Ana and Christian, but when you step back and look at the overall plot, these first fourteen chapters are the ones in which Christian, for lack of a better word, hooks Ana.

Holy s***, I’ve just agreed to be his sub. As Ana says to herself on the same page as the quote above: During the course of these chapters, Christian suggests a BDSM relationship to Ana and she actively agrees to it. I gasp, and I’m Eve in the Garden of Eden, and he’s the serpent, and I cannot resist.įor this post, I’ll focus on the first fourteen chapters of Fifty Shades of Grey. Grab a cup of tea or make a bookmark, this post is longer than usual.ĬONTENT NOTE: This post makes general references to parts of the plot of Fifty Shades of Grey, including non-consent and BDSM.

I’ll be comparing Christian’s tactics with Beast’s. In other words, I want to talk about grooming – a process that makes it look like someone’s making free choices, when actually they’re not. In this post, I want to talk about how they don’t “slip into” their actions either. In my previous post I talked about how they have privilege this means they aren’t forced into their choice.

In a redemption story, the redeemer purposefully chooses to act. Not because I’m in any way thrilled that Fifty Shades Darker will come out in February 2017, but because it’s relevant to what I want to explore in this post. I’m starting with a slightly different quote this time. Fifty Shades Darker – Official Trailer 1 (Universal Pictures)
