- Alternative Character Interpretation: If you put any stock by the letter she sends Severin at the end of the book, it is possible to read Wanda as a completely benevolent character. Not only did she go to great lengths to "cure" him, but her motives were singularly pure: She did what she did in order to remove an obsession that prevented him from living out his other good qualities. And she did it for his sake, because she knew from the beginning that the relationship could have no future.
- Best Known for the Fanservice: Everyone remembers the kink, no-one the strong feminist themes.
- Misaimed Fandom: The book is actually an Author Tract about the importance of gender equality. The ONLY reason anyone knows about it is the delicious, delicious kink.
- Narm: Oh gods, masochism described in classical narrative quickly leads to absolute hilarity. One only needs to imagine Severin as the Edwardian equivalent of a 4chan user to make the book three times as entertaining.
