Speculatively, Seven Classics Get the Fifty Shades of Grey Treatment
Little Women Louisa May Alcott
Well, Amy is just a regular little sadist, isn’t she?
The way she burns Jo’s manuscript and then, years later, totally marries the guy that Jo was in love with all her life.
And she has a little masochist streak in her too. I mean, she really just stood there and took that beating after it was discovered she brought those limes to school.
Limes! So kinky.
I think reimagining this novel so that, instead of being a coming-of-age book about four sisters, it becomes the story of Amy’s journey from young girl who can take some pain (she sleeps with a CLOTHESPIN on her nose to reshape it) into a woman who knows how to give it.
Or something.
