Los crimenes del amor

Sade's work is so entwined with the Enlightenment and his personal philosophies. I'm curious how much of the story was shaped by the societal tensions of his time.

Some scenes felt more like debates than story moments, which made me wonder if Sade intended to provoke thought as much as entertain.

Sade's choices are certainly controversial, and I wonder what personal or philosophical motivations led him to write about these themes so openly.
