In Venus in Furs, Severin von Kusiemski, a nineteenth century European
nobleman, believes that there is "no equality in love". Severin has
nourished fantasies stemming from his childhood that involve a beautiful, cold,
cruel mistress who frequently dresses in furs. He longs to be at the mercy of
such a mistress, treated harshly, castigated, whipped, and beaten. He
particularly yearns to receive harsh punishment from his mistress while she is
dressed only in fur. Then Severin meets Wanda von Dunajew ....
While Severin's fantasies are highly refined--in other words, he's thought and
salivated over his desires for years--they're actually not very well thought
through. Severin signs a contract agreeing to become Wanda's slave, and together
they embark across Europe with their agreed upon roles.
Severin's adventures in "Venus in Furs" recall that old saying 'be careful what
you wish for--because you might get it'. Severin soon discovers that to be in
thrall to a harsh mistress may not be quite as glamorous as he imagined. Wanda
unleashed is a supreme, sadistic game player, and Severin is ... well ... her
slave, while she takes on other lovers. |
