Subverted in that she started a relationship with him at age fifteen, it's implied that his methods of domming come from her, and he sees nothing wrong with what she did. Amicable Exes: Christian is good friends with his ex-domme.He blames this behavior all on childhood trauma even though said trauma ended when he was four and, by his own admittance, he doesn't remember much of it. Oh, and he enjoys taking submissives who look like his "crack whore" mother (his own nickname for her) because he enjoys pretending he's beating her. He also seems unable to rationally think about previous situations (for example, he continues to hate blondes because a blonde police officer took him away from his dead mother's body, even though sixteen or so years have passed and he should be able to think about it differently). He has extreme issues with impulsive behavior, immediately responding to a joke e-mail Ana sent by driving to her house, tying her to the bed, and forcing himself on her, without giving her a chance to explain the situation. He seems to have difficulty with communications, often getting angry with Ana for not knowing something she couldn't know unless he told her. He dislikes interacting with others, save for a small circle of people he's close to. Christian Grey, who by his own admission is "fifty shades of fucked up".Anastasia Steele is extremely thin, has poor self-esteem and body-image and never wants to eat.All Women Are Doms, All Men Are Subs: Averted, for once.Her crime? Getting home later than she said she would and thus avoiding being kidnapped.
#Fifty shades of grey series series#
Although Ana insists throughout the series (and with ever-increasing strength) that Grey is making progress and is maturing emotionally because of her, he actually becomes crueller and more controlling as the series continues, to the point where he tortures her against her will in Fifty Shades Freed. However, Ana alternates between believing that these are minor quirks and thinking that she can heal him emotionally by giving him everything he wants, thus healing him with the power of her love.
Almost all women in the series are attracted to him who aren't related or lesbians. All Girls Want Bad Boys: Christian Grey is into BDSM and has the typical personality of the bad boy/alpha male in romance novels: domineering, impatient, frequently angry, and demands to have his own way.Not to be confused with Shades of Grey or Between Shades of Grey. The first three books were made into same-titled films, released over 2015-2018.
