Simone De Beauvoir

i wish he'd been able to finish it properly, instead of dwindling off into notes about what gets done to whoever.

and i think it would have been funnier if there had only been the four of them left at the end.. no cooks, servants or food.. and they start to plot against each other..

it ends with the Duc de Blangis killing and eating his friends.

as far as a sociopath like that can have friends.

So were the lists of passions supposed to be written out instead of listed off? Also did he know he was going to die so he just listed off everything he was going to write?

I found de Sade to be pretty shit, tbh.

You missed the entire point of the fucking book you fucking moralfag.

The 120 days is supposed to be an inverse morality tale you fucking retard.
The entire point is about how morality is a farce and the only possible reason that could guide our actions in existence in a deterministic world is to fulfill the passions that nature has imbued us with.

The reason the friends don't turn on each other is that reality doesn't work like it does in your stupid moralfag fantasy world where all "evil" people are compelled to be autistically edgy and evil all of the fucking time.

it's not a morality tale. it's a masturbatory indulgence of how powerful people can do what they want.

you do get a few points for working in the words 'edgy', 'autistic' and 'moralfag'. shows you know how to fit in here.

Material atheism - also, why so edge? Cant you compromise with people who don't really read Sade for the deeper read when he talks about wiping shit out of arses.

I mean, Sade was never meant to be liked - he has been misread for generations - mainly the surrealists.

Just saying the word 'moral' doesn't actually suggest anything about Sade - I mean, he aposes morality but WHY - just to scare people? To prove something? Or did he become misguided in prison?

His writings arnt serious, he isnt serious. He is a child pissing on an audience of people.

>Are you seriously fucking 14 or something?

I actually read Sade when I was 14/15. Probably the best time to read it because he is just edgy and shit - so keep that edge up because it will DEFFO get you some real hot chicks mate.

Because he's medically insane, in the most literal way. True story.
