***SPOILER***** Seriously, what kind of douchebag....


will sit there and listen to her crying, telling him about her mother dying in birth and grandfather, etc, then just go on and date rape you?

I mean, I know he was meant to be a twisted bastard, and though I knew it was coming from the synopsis, I still couldn't believe someone could be so cold to do that in the first place, much less after hearing all that...

Editing a spoiler warning into your subject line might be a good idea.

I think the way he started looking bored and irritated while she was telling him all about her life tells you everything you need to know about him. Although the fact that he committed suicide not long after indicated that he may have had some sort of conscience.

My bad, it's fixed.

Ehhh....I can see what you're saying, but at the same time, he was totally dispicable. But then again, it was a neccessary thing for the plot to move along...just really made me sick to think sicko's out there would probably do the same thing.

Maybe he did have a concience, but regardless, it didn't undo the damage he'd caused her.

Horrible stuff

My thoughts, for what they're worth:

(a) There are, unfortunately, a lot of sick and twisted people out there - it's just that it's a much bigger world than them alone, so most people are fortunate enough not to come into direct contact with them.

(b) He probably thought he was doing her a favour in some sick and twisted way and that she should be grateful for his interest in her (I seriously doubt he expected things to end quite the way they did).

(c) He may not have been expecting her to remember much of what had happened after what he'd given her, so maybe he didn't think she'd be affected much by it.

(d) He wasn't the first guy, and won't be the last, who was thinking predominantly with a part of his anatomy that wasn't located in his skull, and with being encouraged by his mates as well that makes for a dangerous combination. (I remember doing a women's self defence course where we were taught how to fight back, but were then recommended not to bother if we were being attacked by a guy whose mates were with him. As the instructor said, no guy wants to be shown up by a woman in front of his mates, and he's unlikely to give in in front of them!)

to be fair, Celia had like 10 warnings to go home before getting date-raped and also maybe she could've used more common since when going to a frat party and letting ur friend ditch u (on ur bday) and following some strange boy into a filthy old wine cellar and letting him close the door behind u two in said wine celler in the makeout room of the basement of a frat house. . .
