I'm sure we can all agree that everyone has a subconscious, evil at times, that forces us to second guess our decisions. But Miss Steele's subconscious is undoubtedly the devil. At every moment that she is with Christian, or any other character for that matter, she constantly questions and/or criticizes herself. It's these insecurities (among other qualities-or lack thereof) that make her character unrealistic. Likewise, this girl has managed four years - I stress, an entire undergraduate career- without having any sex or blacked-out wasted nights of retardedness!
Unbelievable.
No way is anyone getting through four years of college without some sort of experimentation. These attempts to make Ana seem innocent create a distant character who would relate more to Bella from Twilight than any real college woman. I understand the paradox since this book is more or less the sexual relationship that Edward and Bella never had. However, if Christian Grey can be his own character (whom we love), why can't Ana Steele stand on her own without seeming like an extended version of Bella Swan?
Furthermore, I'm becoming slightly "perturbed" with the lip biting. I almost want Ana to stop as badly as Mr. Grey does - although not for the same reasons...... -__-
So, in conclusion, this in my demand for all the romantic fiction authors out there:
STOP MAKING CELIBATE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS PROTAGONISTS
-it's annoying.
Sincerely,
A concerned experimental college student
P.S
If they happen to have a drinking habit that's totally cool -we understand.
i absolutely agree with you. I don't know any 21 year old that could relate to her in any way. What are those 4 years in college for anyway! Ana pisses me off, as does, bella. WHO is that innocent? no one and frankly its annoying. Alsooo, i dont appreciate this character being a damsel in distress like all characters in romantic movies/books/shows. sick of it..we can be strong too. write a book about that.
