While the IG is "jumping up and down clapping her hands in anticipation", the Subconscious is pursing her lips and frowning disapprovingly at Ana's newfound sexual appetites. When Ana suffers moments of self-doubt about the emotionally and physically destructive relationship she's entered into, her Inner Goddess is on hand to egg her on with a bawdy wink and a thinly-veiled threat about ending up alone with cats otherwise.Ī lot like the Inner Goddess, but less fun. Imagine Mila Kunis's sultry ballet dancer in Black Swan, then blend her with Barbara Windsor from a Carry On film of your choice and you'll get a rough image of the Inner Goddess – for lack of a better phrase, she's bang up for it.
Although she hasn't been diagnosed with a personality disorder, Ana's inner thoughts manifest themselves through two distinct inner voices. This, believe it or not, is where it really starts to get weird. In a nutshell, he's only capable of having relationships based around an S&M dynamic where his partner becomes his 'submissive' and consents to regular bouts of whipping, flogging, bondage and so forth. His adjective-straining good looks and air of elegant cruelty bewitch Ana, but he soon turns out to have some sizable skeletons in his closet. She's also shy and insecure, but don't let that fool you into thinking she's not a stunner - she's the book version of the so-called nerdy girl whose hotness is miraculously revealed when she takes off her glasses.įifty Shades' leading man is the kind of non-specific billionaire who doesn't seem to do a huge amount of actual work, but intermittently barks orders into his phone and says things like "The prototype looks good" and "It's s**t or bust time". All her prayers are answered when she meets her very own brooding, emotionally repressed older gent… or are they? We're told she's a good student and at one point takes an internship at a publishing house, but don't let that fool you into thinking she's a well-rounded character with discernible goals or ambitions. Our wide-eyed heroine is a recent English Literature graduate who prefers the company of her "classic British novels" (which in this universe means anything written by Jane Austen or a Brontë) to that of boys her age. Have a read of our cheats' guide to the trilogy below.
With that in mind, we've delved into the murky, sadomasochistic depths of Fifty Shades of Grey so you don't have to. With The Social Network's producers now attached to the upcoming big-screen adaptation, and a screenwriter close to being chosen, the bizarre literary phenomenon is about to become a bizarre cinematic phenomenon.Īlthough our recent poll suggests that a good few of you have already devoured the BDSM-tastic tome for yourselves, we know there must be more than a few Digital Spy readers who are curious to know more, but not quite curious enough to pay money for your own copy.
#WHAT IS FIFTY SHADES OF GREY ABOUT CODE#
