At first glance, Isabelle, who grew up in a middle-class Parisian family, doesn't seem to have encountered any blows that led her down such an extreme path. It is true that compared to ignorant love, her first night is a hybrid of curiosity and self-satisfaction (but which teenager's first night is not like this), and the object of her first night is also impeccable for most girls: ah, this blond and blue-eyed The exotic prince with wheat complexion, dressed to be thin and undressed with flesh, will arrange a lively playground date on the midsummer night! But the precocious Isabelle calmed down and pondered a little, no, this little white face even made a girl post 6 Euro ice cream! Go straight to the subject in a few love words, and it's only a few minutes! ! This kind of love affair that peers yearn for doesn't seem to be very wonderful, and there is not even anything worth recalling. After the ceremony, there was no psychological pleasure or satisfaction, only the blood stains reminded her of a sour sense of reality.
But the story didn't end there. When her peers recited Rimbaud's verses praising youth and love in literature class with a longing look, Isabelle always maintained a kind of indifference of "Sister doesn't believe in these BSs". Compared with the romantic Rimbaud, who has been quiet and peaceful, she is more interested in Laclo, who exposes the ugly relationship between aristocratic scheming bitches and scheming dicks. She seems to have begun to yearn for Cecil, the daughter of Madame de Volunky in "Dangerous Relations", who was seduced and trained by Viscomte de Vermont, the lover of the Marquise de Merty. The known monastic virgin became the liberated Prometheus. But this is not the Rococo era after all. To verify this transformation and become mature, the most direct and effective way is to exchange sex for money, so what the police call "a very dangerous experience" appeared.
"Dangerous" has since become the key word in Isabelle's situation. When Isabelle was exposed, everyone around her reminded her of the various "dangers" she faces as a woman: the female police officer suggested that countless prostitutes had been abused or even killed by her clients, her mother was worried that she did not use condoms, and May cause pregnancy and STDs. In the end, the female police officer even said confidently that Isabelle was Georges' "victim" and was completely exempted by law, implying that the sudden death of the client was purely retribution.
But even if she was attacked as "a slut for a day, a bitch for a lifetime" in the process of selling sex, Isabelle never hesitated or regretted her choice. What really hurt her was not the various potential dangers in the outside world, but her harm to others. Facing the psychiatrist, Isabelle showed shame and uneasiness for the first time - she felt that she was "dirty" because she took a person's life, and this dangerous action finally made her a "perpetrator". She was able to escape under the protection of law and social morals, but Georges became the only one who had to pay a heavy price, which was enough to make Isabelle's conscience restless for a lifetime.
When the whole world launched the action of "rescue the lost girl from you and me", Isabelle could not get out of this prison completely. This humanitarian action is not the ultimate redemption. What hides behind the sanctimonious appearance is a turbulent undercurrent that a girl cannot bear: the mother's close friend deliberately prevents Isabelle from being alone with her husband, but is exposed by Isabelle's joking sentence "It's not me that is dangerous" She was blushing; when her mother heard the word "bitch", she couldn't hide her physical and psychological disgust, and she even began to be wary of her daughter just like her best friend. No matter how much sugar-coated "victim" is packaged for Isabelle, adults, especially women, are hard-pressed to erase their contempt, vigilance, and hostility toward her.
The whole world seems to be helping her, but no one in the world is trying to get to know her. In fact, the last person who reached out to her was only Georges' wife, telling her that in the face of life, especially in the face of a woman's precious short decades of youth, nothing is unforgivable, no why, because she jeune et jolie . Other girls can exchange their bodies for a true or false relationship, she can also exchange their bodies for money, or anything else she wants, that's her prerogative.
You must know that summer is long gone, and autumn is leaving, and she will soon become an adult. When she returned to her normal campus life and everything started anew, her once ruthless indifference, ignorant impulsiveness, selfish rebellion, and self-immolation... Everything was just a story that happened on the isolated island of youth.
