On The Story of O

I don't know if I should be so quick to admit this, but The Story of O is one of my comfort reads.

I started thinking about this today after reading this post that Peter Tupper wrote about here.

I have no clear idea why I keep returning to this little book. I'm far too self-absorbed to be into the loss of self, and I don't fancy humiliation. I think it might have a lot to do with O as Hercules: she's the hero that must perform difficult tasks to become who she's meant to be. Except O is obliterated in the process, and I'm not really into that, and we're back at the beginning again.

Let's start there. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a nun. I wanted to be part of a collective, to be seamlessly integrated into something larger than myself. I wanted to dedicate myself to serve a god I was sure wanted my service. I became obsessed with this thought, and if the church had been a more hospitable place... Well, who knows. Now that I am fairly godless, the echoes of that craving still exist, but don't have any real outlet.

It's interesting that O's author was also an atheist who had once thought about becoming a nun. I think I might be on to something with this connection. Everyone has a shadow side, and who they are might have nothing to do with where their mind likes to go when it's idling. I often dream about how I would cope with a loss of freedom, because that scares me, and this book might be one way that I deal with that.

This is turning out to be less coherent than I though it would be. I do find the introduction by Paulhan to be deeply disturbing, and I will never agree that women, or any other group, are made to be dominated. Maybe Paulhan missed the point. Maybe I did. I prefer to view O's journey as one that could have been taken by anyone brave enough, anyone who wanted it badly enough. It's not Woman's Journey: it is, as I said before, a hero's journey. Maybe only a sex-nerd-atheist-with-nun-related-daydreams can see it as such, though. :-)
