Good day to all and Happy New Year. Let the coming year be kinder than the outgoing one. All peace and health.
It seems to me that the author is very free in dealing with one of the main characters of the novel - the social environment in which a number of significant events take place. Sometimes, he turns on the social environment (school students, students of the art class, etc.), then he simply turns it off (like a light bulb in a room). Perhaps this is also the source of serious logical inconsistencies in the narrative of the plot and Sophia's actions.
1. Beginning of the 2nd task. Dialogue between Sophia and Aiden. How likely is it that the students will not hear this conversation and see Sofia showing her panties to two of the students in the class? Negative, but the author abstracted himself from this, there are no students, or they are all deaf-blind and dumb ... and then, they reappeared when Sophia shows her panties to the whole class.
2. How likely is it that the school will not discuss the behavior of a beautiful, but strict teacher, who in 2-3 days turned into a sex bomb and constantly shows her body to students? Again negative. But the author turned off the social environment again. All around there are ideal teenagers and a teacher who wants to debauchery.
3. And if the author explains the absolute illogicality of Sophia's actions by the fact that everything is possible in the porn world, then how to explain the lack of reaction to these actions among the people around her.
4.
-Aiden is not a juvenile bully, but Professor Moriarty in childhood, constantly comes up with various ways to humiliate an adult experienced woman, to which she unquestioningly obeys.
- Sophia is a weak-willed, stupid, lustful wife and mother of two children, who throws the well-being of her family, reputation and life prospects into the pit and does not even try to resist him. (Refusal of Aiden's assignments does not lead to a broad development of the plot in this direction).
- Sophia's children are skillful manipulators who only dream after moving to San Alejo to fuck their own mother.
- The husband is blind and a donkey who works for the family like a donkey, but does not see the guy who licks his wife's crotch, being almost in front of his nose, point-blank. (Even Sam's peripheral vision couldn't help but notice.)
5. If the last renderer presented by the author is in the game, then this is generally a complete sur. The woman - teacher, spreading her legs, hides behind the table, the space behind him is visible and
left and right. Her head sticks out over the table and she is doing something under her skirt in front of everyone.
When a woman sits down in a skirt, she must bring her legs together - this is nature. If she spread her legs, then this is either for the administration of natural needs or in order to correct something under her skirt (or take off). Judging by the render, she is not wearing a bra and she took off her jacket. Those. shows his breasts to students behind a translucent blouse. I can't even imagine what justification is needed for such a pose in front of 20 pairs of pupils' eyes. If this is Aiden's requirement, then see above about the weakness of Sophia's stupidity and the social environment, which the author will probably turn off again at this moment.
As a proponent of occasionally somewhat lengthy posts myself, I appreciate the effort that has gone into putting your honest thoughts on screen. There are aspects that I agree with & some that I don't.
I agree that it took an enormous suspension of disbelief to play through the 2nd task, even allowing for whispering actors & ambient noise inside &/or outside the classroom. We just had to suspend disbelief & accept that all students were heads down, working diligently & not distracted by their teacher spending time whispering in the corner, although to be fair, the back row of the class contained only 2 scholars.
That the students have discussed the behaviour of their teacher is a given. We don't need to see or hear them. We also know that Zac told his mother about Sophia teaching braless. These students have not been shown as ideal but as a mixture.
As for Aiden being a young Professor Moriarty, maybe he is. He could be a wayward genius. Seriously, I posted years ago that I wished the blackmail had stayed with Bennett but his behaviour caused such an outbreak of affrontery that he was relegated to an almost invisible second fiddle.
Sophia is not so much weak-willed but frustrated. That she'll choose to put her marriage in jeopardy shows that she has a strong selfish streak. That's believable because nobody's perfect & we don't expect a St. Sophia. So what if Liam works too much? He works for his own promotion but also for his family & the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed. As to why she follows Aiden's instructions we know it's to protect her son & his friend. Schools in RL do very little about bullying, despite policy documents, verbal assurances etc., while the police don't want to deal with what they see as someone else's responsibility. These aspects are very believable, because they are horrible facts.
Sophia's children being manipulative & focussed on their mother in an unhealthy way, is something I agree with. I avoid the incest when I can, so don't have much of a problem with it.
Liam working like a donkey is only partly true because he gifts himself state of the art audio-visual equipment, takes off fishing, gambles etc., to redress the balance. This also seems credible to me. That he is blinkered when standing right next to his wife's would-be young lover has been discussed at length but I call it another case for a magnificent stretch of credulity on behalf of the readers.
Now I don't want to go through all the recently discussed teaser options, which have, as usual, mostly been plausible, if a bit far-fetched. We know from experience that L&P doesn't really give much away with these. I live in hopes that there'll be some kind of 'logical' explanation for why Sophia is in the peculiar situation & awkward pose we've been shown.
After all, that's why I'm still here after 4 years.....to see what happens next.
