First off, the books are way better than the movies. EL James offers readers insights into 2 very different characters, delving into their backgrounds and upbringing, their personality traits and lifestyles and their personal issues.
We meet Anastasia, a 20 something year old English Literature student. She’s very innocent, virginal and sweet. She has absolutely no experience with dating or sexual relationships. However, when she meets Business CEO Christian Grey, her eyes are widened and her world suddenly becomes less sheltered and simple.
I love the way the book captures Christian’s character. He had a rough upbringing, which was very abusive and neglectful, which has really shaped his personality. He’s emotionally unavailable and very strict with Ana in the first book. He enjoys being a dominant and seeks Ana as a submissive in which to share his BDSM lifestyle with.
As these 2 characters begin their complicated and somewhat kinky relationship, they face many difficulties. Ana struggles with the fact that she can’t get too close to Christian, she isn’t even able to touch him! (Due to the abuse he received as a child). Whereas, Christian struggles to emphasise with the fact that Ana is having reservations about the nature of their relationship and is wanting to make compromises.
As the book goes on, Ana starts getting close to Christian, asking questions about why he’s a dominant and why he is the way he is. This frustrates Christian greatly and he starts pushing her away near the end of the first book.
The pair end up in a frustrated discussion, where Anastasia naively challenges Christian to show her how bad the punishments in a BDSM relationship can get.
Afterwards, she is shocked and hurt, whilst also disgusted by the way he can behave and what gives him pleasure. She professes that she has fallen in love with him and is heartbroken that he doesn’t admit to feeling the same way.
At the end of the book, she leaves him and acts cold on her way out. This shocks Christian, who is visibly upset and very much in denial about his feelings about Anastasia.
I love this ending to the first book! It’s a massive cliffhanger and makes you desperate to pick up the second book in the series (fifty shades darker), to see whether they can work through their differences and rekindle.
