Memoirs of Madeleine Summary
| Although Madeleine had many "conventional" life choices available to her, preoccupation with sex from an early age led her to chose a life as a prostitute and, later, as a "whorehouse mistress." She leaves no details to the reader's imagination in this erotic memoir. Madeleine's apologia, or, more accurately, explanation is, "I chose the life of a prostitute. Worse than that, according to some moralists, I have become a 'whorehouse mistress.' There are many other ugly words that could be used ... but so, too, there are more just and beautiful terms that have been applied to us in periods like the ancient Roman and Greek, when our profession was regarded on a vastly higher plane than many another - that of wife, say. Prostitution! Pray ask your moralist whether all men and women who work with their bodies do not prostitute themselves far more meanly than we, whose toil, if such it be, is, of all forms, the most lovable, seeing that it receives, even as it gives, pleasure. And those who are artists, and sell the innermost thoughts of their souls, do they not prostitute themselves in the worst way? More pertinently still, take your smug married woman - her smugness comes only from the delusive safety - certainly not happiness - that comes from complying with conventions. Basically, she is the worst prostitute of all - sexually, in her manual toil, in the shackling of her mind and will, and in the degradation of living lies that are the very backbone of this institution. She knows well that if she had originally been honest with her husband - if she had given him what he was entitled to as a lover - he would not have married her. But no, she has the questionable comfort of knowing that she used her sex, an intrinsically temporary appeal, to lure him into the marital trap." |
