What starts out as a romantic relationship progressively turns into a menacing dominance bond. The man in the movie stalks the heroine and makes her feel desirable and special. He showers her with attention and gifts.
For instance, he gives her an expensive watch and tells her to look at it and think of him every day at a certain time. He ends up controlling her thoughts, her feelings and her sexuality. He begins by being very sensual and affectionate, but eventually induces her to engage in perverse sexual acts that she feels uncomfortable with. He pushes the envelope further and further to the point where she becomes just a puppet in his hands.
It may seem exciting to play erotic games or to talk in a raunchy manner. But, over time, this behavior begins to feel strange and uncomfortable. They tell you how to dress and what to do or say to please them. They tell you what make-up to wear or to wear no make-up at all. Others, on the contrary, prefer that their women dress provocatively even in public, to demean them and satisfy their penchant for transgression.
Many psychopaths engage in rape and other forms of domestic violence. Even giving you pleasure gives them a sense of power. Eventually, psychopaths need more transgression, more depraved and sadistic acts, harder pornographic material, more sleazy places, more sexual partners and configurations, more everything, to derive the same degree of enjoyment from sex.
We want to be desired as sex objects but also loved and appreciated as individuals. Of course, they often convincingly fake feelings of love in the beginning. But, fundamentally, they can only view and treat you as a sex object that increasingly loses its appeal over time. Sexual partners are interchangeable to them. Which is exactly what he wants from you in the first place: a total capitulation to his will. They want a woman who makes love to them as easily in the privacy of their bedroom as in the public space of a movie theater or a parking lot.
Of course, this emotional blackmail is itself only a sordid joke. The psychopath betrays you whether or not you meet his demands. The only question is: does he do it openly, to torment you, or behind your back, to deceive you? That just about any other woman could have been used in the same manner and for the same purposes. That many others already are. Chris Butler.

Genre: Rock The first thing that most people will tell you about Jelinek is that she's a controversial author, and for once, it's not because of bad behavior or personal quirks not primarily, anyway, though she does suffer from agoraphobia and was a prominent member of the Austrian Communist Party until but because of her prose and the themes that she chooses to feature in her writing.
Jelinek is well known as a feminist and a socialist and makes these commitments an integral part of her fiction. Not only does she explore the way that class and patriarchy affect social relations and individual's psyches in her narratives, but she embraces a radical prose style that seems to be calibrated to incisively cut through platitudes and social mores to expose the raw domination that underlies social identity.
I imagine this is where many readers run into problems Jelinek received a Nobel Prize for literature, but not without major fallout in the literary establishment. She frequently uses repetition and a starkly sardonic tone. Her MO all but rules out sustained instances of expressive or descriptive language; her style reads as very episodic. And of course there are the myriad episodes of violence, particularly of a sexual nature.
But if it sounds like I'm not very enthusiastic about Jelinek's writing, then I'm giving off the wrong impression. I wouldn't necessarily call it fun to read, but I have found her novels to be very rewarding, particularly Women As Lovers. The name of the novel calls to mind D. Lawrence, and a lot about this story reminds me of a turn-of-the-century British novel in its exploration of social and sexual themes. The opening sentences describe a factory in an Austrian village in terms that pare its existence down to the relation between it and the people that labor in it.
There are two main protagonists, both women. One, Brigitte, moves ruthlessly through life, with no concern for her own dignity and holding no illusions about love, interested only in financial security. She sees her own sexuality only as a means of achieving this and pursues a socially mobile, boorish middle-class lout.
The other woman, Paula has no sense for securing her material well being, and falls in love with a man with few prospects and little regard for her. The story proceeds much as you can guess it will, without much suspense, but the narrator's commentary keeps you involved in the unfolding events. In telling this kind of story, it seems like there is a fine line between, on the one hand, being reductive and confirming that reality conforms to the broad demands of theory, or on the other hand, telling one of those dramatic tales that seems to touch reality at no point, and ultimately seems to have little relevance to life as we live it.
I would encourage interested readers to give this novel a try because Jelinek has a really unique style and a definite gift for unusual and provocative descriptions. In fact, pretty much everything about her writing is provocative, and ultimately rewarding. I was also impressed to learn that Jelinek has written a German translation of Gravity's Rainbow , which is no small feat, and the libretto for an opera based on Lynch's Lost Highway. Nov 03, M. Sarki rated it liked it.
Though compared to Thomas Bernhard I must insist that Elfriede Jelinek is nowhere close to the stature and level of his writing. She is very good and cynical, true, and she writes honestly, but at least in Women as Lovers she has not reached his level of the sentence and rhetoric given within her own misanthropy.
I am not sure she has any reverence at all for a human, being they male or female. Her picture of life as an Austrian bodes ill for any it seems. But I will continue to read her work an Though compared to Thomas Bernhard I must insist that Elfriede Jelinek is nowhere close to the stature and level of his writing.
But I will continue to read her work and see if my opinion might alter. I found her work to be engaging and oftentimes quite funny. She has great one-liners but there is something missing in her prose and I am not sure at this time what exactly that is. Perhaps after more time has elapsed I will get a better handle on this artist, but for now, I will leave it that she is simply only better than most. View all 3 comments.
Shelves: drink-the-bleach-drink-the-bleach. Reading Jelinek is intoxicatingly corrosive, like drinking the bleach and discovering that it tastes like your favorite microbrew. It turns out that this was the book for me. Whereas the previous two were like dense slabs of wasp-studded fruitcake, this was more like a sprightly chiffon cake laced with strychnine.

In an attempt to give this review some constructive value, I'll note that the book--a withering, feminist treatment of marriage and baby-making--was originally published in It may or may not read as dated.
Really, are things so different now? In a lot of ways, yes, they are. But that also depends on where and how you grew up. Also, independent of the feminist angle, Women as Lovers is a scathing indictment of class injustice and constricting, soul-destroying social paradigms.
It was good times. Definitely not half as bad as I thought it would be. I heard her books tend to be quite brutal and sadistic but this wasn't really the case. Sure, it was more vulgar but nothing extreme. If it hadn't been for the dragging of Brigitte's story especially, it could've been 4-stars.
To begin with, while the story does follow them as they "dream and talk about finding happiness, a comfortable home and a good man", this doesn't begin to summarize the novel. It's a bit like saying: " Moby Dick is a story about a whale.
But she doesn't "talk" about it. Who would she talk to? She's a factory worker who has made a man the centre of her world in order to escape the hardship of factory work. It may sound like I'm painting Brigitte to be a manipulative and unlikable character, but that would be to deny the characters their complexity.
Indeed, Jelinek's characters are complex, and their complexity is compounded by other complications She doesn't dream and talk about finding happiness, at least not in the form of a comfortable home and a good man. Paula dreams of happiness in the form of independence. That independence is attainable as an apprentice dressmaker. Contrary to Brigitte, who's happiness is dependent upon a man, Paula's happiness is threatened by a man. The simplicity being reflective of the characters, who are themselves boiled down to their most basic wants and needs.
The sophistication being the author's contextualization of these simple characters " women's precarious position in a society dominated by money and men ".
I found the voice reminiscent of Kathy Acker's writing - although it was written in the s, before Kathy Acker's first publications. Most notable, the commentary on women. By appropriating the doctrine of misogyny in its crudest form, Jelinek effectively calls attention to how ignorant it is.
In the case of Women As Lovers , Jelinek's style is as remarkable as her linguistic zeal. To begin with, the novel is written entirely in the lower case, with the exception of a few words that are capitalized for emphasis. The punctuation, too, is unconventional, in a way reminiscent of Gertrude Stein.
The Brechtian aspects of the novel are noteworthy - specifically the passages in which the author directly addresses the reader, reminding us that we are reading a novel, a story of the author's invention.

For one unclear reason or another, I have been for the past few months returning to the familiar ground of authors already read. Sometimes, fortuitously, the second impression differs little from the first that initially motivated me to seek out more of their works.

More often, though, the repeated experience is more distanced, making for similar quantities of food for thought but qualified more by analysis than pathos.
In the case of Jelinek, there's the singular context of 's dismal joke of a Nobel Prize for Lit recipient, coupled to the US's president-elect results in such a way as to suggest the first was a horrible premonition of the second. As stated in a similar fashion by an Internet post on Tumblr: if the change of US government goes through, no one has the right to require work experience in a job application ever again. The first time I encountered Jelinek, I was too caught up in taking the piece personally to pick apart her peculiar literary voice.
Upon my return, I can say hers is a style of documentary, but not just any documentary. Her documentary is devoted to the scene of some particularly brutal subspecies whom the commentator can afford to describe in tones both candid and kitsch.
