Sometimes there comes a time when the balance of love swings from affection and routine to desire and incontinence. Filters, taboos, morals…, call it X. The question is that it can arise, no one is free from it.
Abigail doesn't try to justify why she did it. It only shows us the easy path that leads to the forbidden. In fact, the human being advances based on conquests of reason over what is forbidden, or at least over what is difficult. Everything else is immobility and habit toward the abyss.
The same happens in the space of emotions. And it can happen that, when we seek the limit of emotions towards that determined as prohibited, we regain the feeling of being alive. It is not Abigail's thing, it is part of the contradiction of the human being, in the same way that we breathe oxygen to live while we oxidize our cells and age.
It is up to each one to weigh. It is only for Abigail to consider what she is doing. Perhaps he has been carried away by an absolutely uncontrollable inner noise and fury, or perhaps he has just succumbed to some slogan of a new campaign to find happiness.
Be that as it may, sex can become a great source to satisfy the desire for rebellion focused on uncontrolled passions. The outbreak of an orgasm can reconcile you with a world that seems to deny you happiness.
For the record, all this is not my thing 🙂, it is what the character of Abigail invites you to think, under whose skin she leads us to the frantic journey of infidelity, of emotions to the limit. Abigail shows us sex as a search for that lethargic self in the routine, but willing to break with everything even once in a while, stealthily escaping the dictates of the rational.
Perhaps Abigail is looking to this account for her atonement. But what is clear is that it is not about seeking the forgiveness of others but their complete liberation.
