in terms of people hating characters for being "evil" or whatever. characters are well written or badly written, that is all etc. etc.

auguste apparently having a reputation as a lady's man who hates "sodomites" at the start is the cherry on top

this is pretty badly written but maybe i'll rewrite it more coherently someday

he strayed too far from his control. because who does auguste have otherwise? he's just a lonely, bitter individual defined by his fear of powerlessness - originating of course in the powerlessness and humiliation of his childhood and his failed affair

himself from everyone else. auguste makes flimsy excuses about his methods being for gilbert's greater good; but as bonnard mentions there was probably a part of him that ended up resenting the freedom of gilbert's soul, that made him drag him back down to be his companion in misery whenever

in the flashback chapters he mentions repeatedly how sick he is of society. he defines gilbert's "purity" as an individual neglected by others in the first critical years of his life and under his sole control thereafter. and the more involved he gets with raising him, the more he starts isolating

too lazy for a more comprehensible write up, but imo his attitude toward gilbert is more the result of his misanthropy than straightforward perversion (although he still is a pervert)

copy pasted templates of the generic abuser bogeyman on one side and comically ooc tumblr daddy dom mischaracterizations on the other. no one wants to deal with his particular variety of derangement as takemiya wrote

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.
