Let me start out by saying that peeping is wrong and so weird. I can not imagine secretly watching someone and going so far out of your daily routine to by chance come in contact with someone that you are “in love” with. It also seems weird that in the end the girl used the peeping for her use and really took advantage of the young boy
This commandment for me was a little tricky to figure out. Adultery is a word that has many different definitions in many different contexts so it was hard to figure out what context this story was told in. The way that I took the story was that the word adultery pertained to her sleeping around with men and at the same time trying to engage the young boy peeper in some kind of relationship. I felt sorry for both the boy and the lady. I think they were both lonely and looking for love, and in the end the experience the shared with each other dramatically changed their views on the issue of love in their lives’. In the end the woman wanted what the boy wanted and the boy found out that love doesn’t really exist because of his experience with the woman.
I didn’t really get much out of this story nor did I really think this was one of the better films in the series, but I am curious to know more about the story and maybe watch the extended version of this saga and see if I can become clearer on what adultery really is.
