Oh how ignorant we are. Hear "rape" and imagine that to be the whole ****ing theme. Doesn't bother you a wiff that the boy who got raped was a servant or that he later gets killed and his kid gets orphaned. Or that the book is really about the redemption of his cowardly friend, who did nothing to prevent the rape. If anyone is getting off here, it's you getting off on condemning something you clearly know nothing about.
