Love, Sex, And Feminism: A Critique Of Fifty Shades Of Grey, Katherine Argo
Student Work

Readers discover that the plot and characters of Fifty Shades of Grey are altogether intriguing, familiar, and dynamic. It is at its core a story of deception, love, revenge, and redemption. However, there are negative aspects to the book that we as Christians need to push back against, and there are positive aspects that we need to reclaim.
