Ripe for Corruption
Prepare yourself for the most impure tale ever to spring from the mind of woman…
Alright, it's actually not all that impure...but it's plenty interesting (hopefully). I always thought it would be quite a thing to see what Charenton was like before the events of which the movie started; how Abbé and Madeline came to be so close, how the Marquis first saw Madeline, etc...So I wrote this; it's a diary from Madeleine's perspective on things.
Note: The length of the chapters will vary from extremely short to extremely long. This is done to attain a sense of realism. The improper grammar at the start of the diary is also on purpose. In the movie Madeleine is allegedly learning how to read and write so I couldn't rightly have her spilling out Shakespearean prose straight off, I wanted to capture a sort of realism with this as well...I hope it worked!
