It’s not even that he is a serial rapist that makes me hate him so much here, although that certainly contributes the largest part of my contempt. But the finishing touch is the way he is so needy for the approval of a young woman he’s kidnapped and then assaulted. He has all the power in this relationship – he is literally king of the whole netherworld – and yet he is still wheedling and whining for approval. He’s the real victim here, don’t you see? Give me strength.
