I think I want to look into Marquis De Sade more.

I recently watched a man carrying things video on disturbing works and he talked about 120 days at Sodom. The portion he read aloud (a description of one of the protagonists) interested me. It basically said somrthing like "he would have had his head chopped off 100 times over had it not been for the silver he provided."

Honestly, i don't know what to make of it. Did Sade support this? Was he pointing at the hypocrisy of it all? If he was, was he saying that he ought to be executed or that everyone ought to be able to partake? Or maybe was it just part of the fantasy? I'm not sure.

Reading about all of this feels like I'm hearing about a devil. Or just a pure animal. And it fascinates me. Considering he gave the eulogy of my online namesake, I'm intrigued ever moreso. Is it more frightening for him to be saying things with much meaning or perhaps moreso if there is no meaning to what he says beyond compulsion.

Alas, i do have a weak stomach so we'll have to see how much I can get through.
