I was quite moved by the scene of the archdeacon making love to the gypsy girl, and begging her to take him. a high-positioned person could humiliate himself to such a degree in order to quench his morbid thirst for a gypsy girl is beyond me.I could not bear to read on so shameless an act of a person who is so overwhelmed by the beast nature in himself with absolutely no regard to his social position,but i could not tear myself away from the pages, either. Reading those words of demonstration of an obssesive lust or love, tears came to my eyes, not because i was moved by the profound feelings, by rather by the heart- writhing knowledge that a man can sink so low for obssesion for love and lust and that that is exactly human nature.
