Many loved the Fifty Shades trilogy. Many others loved to hate it.
Just like any other popular culture, but especially because of
their vast, E.L. James's trilogy and its movie unearth who we are
as a society that not only created but also popularized such a
controversial work. On the one hand, critics argued that Fifty
Shades of Grey reflected the glorification of sex. Some even
explained that the trilogy normalized sexual abuse. On the other
hand, many expressed a sense of relief that sexual preferences and
choices that have long been marginalized could not be discussed in
the mainstream. Furthermore, the trilogy reflects our society's
obsession with wealth, failure to identify questionable behaviors
in romantic relationships, and very traditional views on sex,
sexuality, and romance in contrast to more liberal depictions of
them in popular culture. The trilogy also enables us to explore the
value and meaning of fan works, parodies, merchandizing and product
placement, and other forms of creative endeavors.
