Leniverse I'm confused by the "obedience" part of this. ? 8y
Aleida Maybe that for men love inevitably leads to obedience. Idk 8y
athorne @Leniverse @Aleida I think it's more a romanticization of what love once was. Men and women were of a different breed when Stoker was writing, and in that rose-tinted view, a man obeys the woman he loves, just as much as she might submit herself to him. Not unlike a woman having a man that admires her wrapped around her finger, so to speak. (edited) 8y
batsy @Leniverse It certainly tells you a lot about love in those times, doesn't it? From the man's perspective 🙄 8y
